your favorite toppings(bacon, green onion, sour cream, butter, cheese)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potato very well under cold water. Pat the potato dry with a paper towel as best you can.
Prick the potato all over with a fork, just piercing the skin.
Place the potato on a baking sheet. Brush all over with olive oil.
Sprinkle all over with the salt.
Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick or knife slides in easily with no resistance. If it is not done in an hour I start checking every 10 minutes. Timing depends on how big the potato is, if it is on the smaller side, start checking at 45 minutes.
Slice the top open, pinch the sides and press down and in to open the potato.
Fluff the potato insides with a fork, add your favorite toppings such as salt and pepper, butter, sour cream, scallions, cheese, bacon crumbles, etc. Serve immediately.
Notes
Nutritional value does not include toppings.
You can obviously make more of these at once.
Do not wrap these in foil, this will not crisp up the skin.
