Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set it aside.
Rinse and dry the potatoes. Using a fork, poke holes all over each potato.
Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil and then season generously with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes onto the line baking sheet (so they're not touching each other).
Bake fore 45-55 minutes or until the potatoes give no resistance when pierced with a fork.
Let the potatoes cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Then slice the potatoes lengthwise down the center and add your favorite toppings.
