Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Scrub potatoes and dry. Cut tops off of the potatoes. Using a small, thin, flexible knife, cut rings or circles around the inside of the potato. Turn the potatoes over; make deep cuts all the way around potatoes, leaving a small space at the top uncut.
Carefully turn potatoes back over. Check to see if cuts need to be made deeper. Brush potatoes with olive oil; sprinkle with salt.
Place the potatoes on foil; bake. After 30 minutes, brush tops with more olive oil and sprinkle with more salt. Bake an additional 30 minutes.
Top potatoes with shredded Cheddar cheese; bake 5 minutes to melt and toast the cheese.
Remove from oven; carefully transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle with crispy bacon bits or crumbles.
