- Top with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, grated cheese, chives, scallions, and cooked bacon.
- Bake until potatoes are tender and nice and golden crispy brown.
- To loosen the potato, slice lengthwise and squeeze it after removing from the oven.
- Listen to the crispiness of the potato when cutting it open, showing it's perfectly baked.
- Spread butter inside the potato for more flavor, and mix with the potato's soft interior.
