Directions
Rub each potato with oil or bacon fat and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Let sit for a few hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 400oF. Please the potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until soft when pierced by a paring knife. Remove from the over and make a slit down the center of the potato. Press the ends towards the center of the potato to create an opening. Sprinkle a bit of salt into the potato and garnish with your favorite toppings. For a great presentation; after salting add the butter, bacon and sour cream. Top with the chives and freshly ground pepper.
