With a sharp knife, cut slits in the potato. Keep them as close together as possible. Make sure to run the knife through 3/4 of the potato. Don't cut the whole way through. Place potatoes on a baking pan and douse those bad boys with olive oil. Don't be shy. Season with salt and get them in the oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove from the oven and brush potatoes with melted butter and then place them back in the oven for an additional 30-40 minutes. Once crispy, remove from oven and serve immediately. Feel free to top with sour cream, fresh herbs, and freshly cracked black pepper.
Enjoy!
