Instructions
Scrub the potato under running water to remove any dirt.
Bring the pot of water to a boil. Salt the water once it's boiling. Remember to salt it until it tastes like ocean water!
Boil the whole potato for 10-20 minutes, depending on size.
Check the doneness of your potato by sticking a fork in it; there should be little to no resistance.
Remove the potato from the pot when it is done and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add toppings and enjoy!
