3. Prick the potatoes in a few spots with a fork to act as small pressure releases and prevent potential explosions.
4. Bake in a 450 degree F oven until the internal temperature reaches between 205 and 212 degrees F, about 45 minutes to an hour.
5. Brush with oil after baking for extra crisp skin, then split open, fluff, and serve with desired toppings like butter, sour cream, and chives.
