Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 5-6 large Russet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt or kosher salt
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/3 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp Bacon bits
  • 1 tbsp Sour cream
  • Fresh green onion

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Start by washing and drying the potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times, about 4-6 times, depends how large the potato is.
  • Next, rub olive oil all over the potatoes. You can use a baking brush as well.
  • Sprinkle some sea salt all over the potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them for about 45-50 minutes. Please note, the cooking time will vary based on how large the potatoes are. If using extra-large potatoes, give them additional 5-10 minutes to bake. The potatoes should be tender inside if you poke a fork into them.
  • Flip the potatoes once or twice during the baking process. This will endure even baking.
  • Once baked, serve with your favorite toppings and dressing, such as ranch, blue cheese, or sour cream.
