Step 1

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Scrub potatoes and pat them dry. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Prick potatoes a few times with a fork.

Step 3

Rub olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle all sides generously with salt.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-70 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork. The cook time will depend on the size of the potatoes.

Step 5

To split potatoes open, cut lengthwise through the top and then press gently on the two ends. Serve potatoes with toppings, as desired.
