Method

1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
2
Rub potatoes all over with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
3
Bake 50-60 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a knife slides easily into the center.
4
Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork.
5
Top each potato with a pat of butter, a dollop of sour cream, a generous handful of shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and chives.
6
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, and serve immediately while hot.
