Ingredients:
| 4 | russet potatoes (about 1/2 pound each) |
| 1/2 cup | vegetable oil |
| 1 to 2 tablespoon | kosher salt |
| 1 tablespoon | freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash and dry the potatoes and do not poke each potato once or twice with a fork. Again, do not poke any holes in the potato. Potatoes only explode when they are over cooked. Pour the vegetable oil into a small dish and dip a paper towel into the oil. Rub the oil all over each potato. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the entire potatoes. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Bake about 1 hour. Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork into one. If it presses through easily, the potato has completed cooking.
Serve with butter, sour cream, bacon crumbles, and chopped chives.
