Start with baked potatoes, using as many as you like, roughly the size of your hand, about half a pound each.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Dip a paper towel into vegetable oil and rub the whole potato down with oil.

Sprinkle kosher salt generously over the potato, ensuring it sticks to the oil.

Place the potatoes directly in the oven without wrapping in foil.

Bake for about 1 hour until done, checking for doneness.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a bit.

Cut the baked potato open carefully using a towel to avoid burns.

Top the potato with butter, sour cream, and chives.
