Heat oven to GM 8. Use a large baking tray.
Using a fork, poke the potato at least 10 times on all sides. Place the potato on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove baking tray from the oven.
Using a pastry brush, brush the outside of the potato with olive oil until it is completely coated on all sides. Sprinkle the potato with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then place the potato back on the baking sheet reverse-side-up, so that it can cook evenly on both sides.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Using an oven mitt, carefully squeeze the potato to check for doneness. If the insides are soft and give under pressure, remove the potato from the oven. Otherwise, continue cooking in 5-minute increments until the potato is soft.
Using a small paring knife, slice halfway through the potato lengthwise. Then give it a gentle squeeze to open.
Serve immediately, with your desired toppings.
