large Idaho baking potatoes (Russet)
canola oil
coarse (Kosher) salt
cooked bacon crumbles
butter
sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scrub and rinse potatoes then dry well with a paper towel. Rub skins well with canola oil and sprinkle entire potato with coarse salt. Cut several steam vents in each potato and place on middle oven rack. Bake until fork tender (ours were HUGE so they were in there a good 90 minutes). Remove from oven and carefully cut through tops so you can scoop them out. Using a spoon, remove most of the potato from skin and place in a bowl. Coarsely mash with a fork and add desired amount of butter, salt, pepper, dill, whatever you like. We tried to be a little healthy with these so we only added a tablespoon or two of butter for 6 or 7 huge potatoes. You just need a little to moisten it up a bit and add to the flavor. You can add milk too if you like. After you crush them and add your mix-ins, just evenly stuff each potato and top with sour cream, bacon, broccoli or cheddar. Great with chili! Keep warm and enjoy! :)
