If you’re looking to actually make them, here’s a quick and tasty way:

Baked Potatoes With Melted Cheese
Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes

Olive oil

Salt & pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your fave melting cheese: mozzarella, gouda, gruyère, etc.)

Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, bacon bits, chives, hot sauce

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Scrub potatoes clean, then poke a few holes in each with a fork.

Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place directly on oven rack (you can put foil on a rack underneath to catch drips).

Bake for 45–60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.

Slice open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork.

Sprinkle cheese generously into the middle of each potato. Pop back into the oven for 5–10 minutes until melty and gooey.

Add toppings and dig in!
