Baked Aussie Potatoes

The Pioneer Woman has a great recipe blog but she always makes "full flavor" recipes aka they're usually full of butter, cream, olive oil, etc. I took her Crash Hot Potatoes recipe and doctored it up slightly to try and lighten it up.

 - Instead of coating a cookie sheet with olive oil, I put down some foil for easy cleanup.  Then I sprayed the foil with olive oil flavored PAM.
 - I brushed the top of each potato with regular olive oil, probably about 1 tsp or so per potato
 - I used regular salt, not Kosher salt
 - I just used salt and pepper to season these since I was making them for the first time, and since I didn't have any fresh herbs on hand
 - Mike really liked these.  They browned up pretty well after baking them for almost 30 minutes.
 - I'd make these again but they do take awhile so they're not ideal for a weeknight meal.  By the time you boil the water, boil the potatoes, then bake the potatoes, you're staring at almost an hour of prep time.
