Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 4 strips Cooked bacon, chopped
• 3 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 1 cup Steamed broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup Guacamole
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Chili or baked beans
• 4 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes clean under cold water, then pierce each one several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet, and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the insides are soft when pierced with a knife.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Grate the cheese, cook and chop the bacon, and steam the broccoli.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before handling. Carefully cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each potato and fluff up the insides using a fork.

Step 7

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato, then layer your toppings as desired. Start with shredded cheese to allow it to melt, then add sour cream, bacon bits, green onions, broccoli, guacamole, salsa, chili, or any combination that appeals to you.

Step 8

Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot, and enjoy your fully loaded baked potato.
