Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Ensure each potato is well-covered for maximum flavor and a crispy skin.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it into small pieces. Slice the green onions, dice the cherry tomatoes, and chop the fresh chives.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Carefully cut an opening along the top of each potato without cutting all the way through.
Fluff the inside of each potato with a fork to create space for your toppings.
Top each baked potato with crumbled bacon, a generous drizzle of Whole30 compliant ranch dressing, sliced green onions, diced cherry tomatoes, and chopped chives.
Serve warm with extra toppings on the side for everyone to customize their potato to taste.
