Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

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

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit across the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them. Add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives to each potato.

    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious baked potatoes!
