Ingredients
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup grated cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup canned corn
- 0.5 cup sliced olives
- 0.5 cup diced pickles
- 0.5 cup chopped green onions

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and prick each potato a few times with a fork.
