Ingredients

  • 5-6 large russet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt or kosher salt
  • black pepper to taste
For topping
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp bacon bits
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • fresh green onion

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Start by washing and drying the potatoes. Pierce the potatoes with a fork a few times, about 4-6 times, depending on their size.
  3. Next, rub olive oil all over the potatoes. You can use a baking brush as well.
  4. Sprinkle some sea salt all over the potatoes.
  5. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them for about 45-50 minutes. Please note that the cooking time will vary based on the potatoes' size. If using extra-large potatoes, give them an additional 5-10 minutes to bake. If you poke a fork into them, they should be tender inside.
  6. Flip the potatoes once or twice during the baking process. This will ensure even baking.
  7. Once baked, serve with your favorite toppings and dressing, such as ranch, blue cheese, or sour cream.
