Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

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

  3. 3

    Pierce and Season

    Using a fork, pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape during baking. Rub each potato 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 skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato, followed by sour cream and chopped chives.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot and enjoy your delicious baked Idaho® potato!
