Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Cooked bacon bits
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while they bake.
Step 4
Rub each potato with a thin coating of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit along the top of each potato, then gently squeeze the ends to open the potato slightly.
Step 8
Fluff the interior of the potato with a fork and add your desired toppings: a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, bacon bits, and optional parsley for garnish.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy!
