Baked Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Scrub the potatoes and pat them dry. Rub them with oil, salt and pepper, then pierce all over with a fork.
Wrap each potato in foil and place the potatoes directly on the racks, or place them on a baking sheet with foil, then bake for 50 to 60 minutes, turning every 20 minutes.

Add the butter pats, sour cream, cheese, chives, mushrooms, bacon, tomatoes, avocado, and chili into separate small bowls or plates. Place them on the board first to anchor it.
Cut the potatoes in half and place around the board.
Serve with salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings on the side.
