Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.Cool and Slice
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a bit of the flesh, leaving a thin layer.

Brush the inside of the potato skins with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
This adds flavor and helps create a crispy texture.Add Fillings
