Equipment
1 fork
1 paring knife
1 cutting board
Ingredients
2large potatoes
1tablespoonvegetable oil
1tablespooncoarse saltsea salt or kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat convection oven to 375°F.
Clean potatoes by scrubbing them under running water. Pat dry.
Poke potatoes 6-8 times with a fork to vent steam.
Rub potatoes with oil.
Rub potatoes with salt, using your hands to coat the potato.
Place potatoes in the middle rack of the oven.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a fork will insert easily into the center of the potato. If it is still a little firm, cook for longer, checking every 5 minutes.
Slice the potato open down the middle. Fluff the cooked potato with a fork then top with shredded cheese and toppings. Serve while warm.
Notes
Add toppings that melt first, like butter or cheese. Then add more toppings like sour cream, chives, bacon or any of your other favorite toppings.
If you’ve always wrapped your potatoes in foil to cook in the oven you will be pleasantly surprised by how these turn out! No need to wrap your potatoes in foil anymore
Use an oil that can be cooked at high heat. We like cooking with avocado oil or vegetable oil.
