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

Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 3
Poke Holes
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato. This allows steam to escape while baking.

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

Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then slice each potato open lengthwise. Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato and top with sour cream, chopped chives, and shredded cheddar cheese. Serve immediately.
