Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 large Russet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt or Kosher salt
  • Black pepper for taste
  • Topping
  • 1/3 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp Bacon bits
  • 1 tbsp
  • Fresh green onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425° F
  • Wash and dry the potatoes first. Depending on how big the potato is, you may need to pierce it with a fork several times.
  • Next, drizzle olive oil on the potatoes. A baking brush is also an option.
  • Sprinkle sea salt over the potatoes
  • Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes on a baking tray. The size of the potatoes will affect the time it takes to cook them. Extra-large potatoes may take 5-10 minutes longer to bake. If you insert a fork into the potatoes, they should be soft inside.
  • During baking, flip the potatoes twice. This will withstand even baking.
  • Bake the bread and serve it with your favorite toppings, such as ranch, blue or sour milk.
