Step 2

Prick each potato a few times all over with a fork. Directly on the baking sheet, rub the potatoes with the oil and sprinkle all over with the salt. Bake until very tender when pierced in the center with a skewer or sharp knife, or until the center of the largest potato registers 205°F to 210°F (96°C to 99°C), 45 to 60 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes until cool enough to handle, then cut a slit down the center of each potato and serve with toppings of choice.
