Potato Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings by chopping, shredding, or heating as necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open, and let everyone add their favorite toppings.
