Baked Potato

Here is a simple recipe for making baked potatoes:

Ingredients:
– Russet potatoes
– Olive oil
– Salt

– Toppings of your choice (such as butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon bits, etc.)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

8. To serve, make a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork.
9. Add your favorite toppings such as butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon bits, or any other toppings you prefer.
10. Serve the baked potatoes hot as a side dish or as a meal on their own.

Enjoy your delicious and comforting baked potatoes! They are a versatile and satisfying dish that can be customized to suit your taste preferences.
