Earth. Next easiest is probably Venus, when it's up.
The planet easiest to spot using a telescope is usually Jupiter. Its large size, bright coloration, and distinctive cloud bands make it easily distinguishable even with a small telescope. Additionally, Jupiter's four largest moons, known as the Galilean moons, can also be seen with a telescope.
The Earth is definitely the #1 easiest. Next in line would be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each of those is visible without a telescope, so you'd know exactly where to point your telescope by seeing the planet with your eye first. The brightest planet that you do need a telescope to see is Uranus. So you definitely won't miss it when you're pointed at it, but you need to know where to point.

That is the planet Jupiter. The black spot was created recently when a asteroid collided with it. Jupiter has a Great Red Spot created through storms. No planet has a black spot no mars has a giant red spot and mercury has the black spot
A massive storm
Look at Mars through the telescope, pick a spot on the planet you can remember, check back later, find the spot again, it rotated!
It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained. A small telescope will usually show Jupiter's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter's atmosphere. A large telescope will show Jupiter's Great Red Spot when it faces the Earth.
With a telescope, you can see a lot more detail on the planets surface. Without a telescope you can only see bright dots, like surrounding stars, but with a telescope you can make out more - you can see the rings of Saturn for example of the bands and red spot on Jupiter.
There are quite a few astronomy programs out there that you can use to identify a planet in the sky above you. I use WorldWide Telescope from Microsoft. You just set your viewing location and it shows you what you can see from that spot.
