• Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the potatoes are pierced easily with a fork.
• Cut a slit in the potatoes, lengthwise, then set out alongside the toppings. If you want to keep the potatoes warm, you can place them in a slow cooker on the warm setting. Let everyone serve their own potatoes and enjoy!

PERFECT BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork. Rub the skin with olive oil, then with salt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender and cooked through, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Slice the tops open and slightly push the potatoes in, prepping them for the innards. (I like the word innards.)
• For the kids' potatoes, give each russet potato a good dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of Cheddar and a few broccoli florets. Done.
• For the adults' potatoes, fill each sweet potato with crumbled blue cheese, bacon crumbles, garlic chips, scallions and red onion. Done.
