Ingredients

  • Potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Butter
  • Cheese
  • Bacon
  • Sour Cream
  • Chives

Instructions

  • Start with fresh potatoes, we like to use the Idaho potatoes found in our grocery store.
  • You’ll then want to wash your potatoes and remove any excess dirt from the skins.
  • Next, take a fork and poke several holes all over the potato to help it vent.
  • Next, rub the entire potato in olive oil covering it entirely.
  • Place onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and add freshly ground cracked pepper and sea salt.
  • Next, bake your baked potatoes on 350º F for 1 hour – flipping the potatoes at the 30 minute mark.
  • Once done, remove from the oven, cut open and add your toppings.
  • I like to start with the butter so it can melt into the warm potato.
  • Then I add the cheese so it can melt.
  • Then I add the cooked bacon (diced), sour cream and then top off with chives.
  • Enjoy!
