Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes under cold running water. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork or paring knife.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on the sheet pan. Brush the olive oil all over the potatoes, then season the potatoes generously with salt.

Step 4

Place the pan in the oven. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until skins are crisp and insides are tender.

Step 5

Let potatoes cool for 5 minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and pull the sides back. Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork.

Step 6

Add toppings as desired, then serve.
