Ingredients
  • 4 baking potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons bacon bits (optional)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

READY IN
1 hr
Wash and clean potatoes. Prick each potato with a fork. Grease each potato with oil. Wrap individually in foil. Bake at 450° directly on wire rack in oven. For smaller potatoes, bake for 1 hour. For larger potatoes, bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

When baked, cut in half and fluff pulp with a fork. Serve with butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, salt and pepper.

NOTE: If you want to speed up the process, you can put the potatoes in the microwave on high for 2 minutes after you prick them and before greasing with oil. This will take about 20-30 minutes off your baking time.
