Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh inside.

Prepare the Toppings
While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Chop the chives and set aside. Prepare sour cream and shredded cheese.

Serve
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open. Add sour cream, sprinkle with chives, and top with shredded cheese.
