Preheat oven at 400 F. Scrub and clean potatoes and brush it with oil, then drench with enough salt and pepper. Bake for 45 minute or until they are tender when you poke it with a fork. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and use a spoon/knife to cut the rim of each half and gently scoop out the insides. Keep the insides for I will share to you a recipe for this/or you can throw it.
