1. Clean the Potatoes:
Start by thoroughly washing the potatoes under running water, scrubbing off any dirt. Once clean, dry them well using a clean kitchen towel.
2. Pierce the Skin:

3. Oil and Season:
Drizzle each potato with olive oil, turning to coat them evenly. Season generously with salt and pepper to bring out their natural flavor.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice each potato open and fluff the inside with a fork. Top with your favorites—sour cream, cheese, chives, or whatever you love!
