Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 45–50 minutes, until the skins are firm and a fork slides through the center with no resistance.

While the potatoes bake, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
