Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

Use a fork to prick a few holes into the potatoes all over. Place on the baking sheet, spritz the potato with olive oil and rub all over; sprinkle with kosher salt all over.

Step 3

Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crisp and the potato is tender.

Step 4

Use a fork to fluff up the insides of the potato before adding your toppings.

Step 5

Slice open each potato. Assemble with all the fixins you like.

Step 6

Cook the potato for 3 to 4 minutes and then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 7

For every extra potato you're making, add 1 minute for each side.

Step 8

If the potato is still hard, continue to cook in 1-minute increments until the potato is tender.
