– Olive oil
– Salt and pepper
– Optional toppings of your choice

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Rub each one with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

4. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.

5. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and top with your favorite toppings, such as butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon, etc.

Tips:

– For crispier potatoes, rub them with a bit of melted butter or oil before baking.

– To make loaded potatoes, top with cheese, bacon, and other desired toppings before baking.

– For a healthier version, skip the butter and toppings and serve with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and fresh herbs.
