1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce them several times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
2
Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.
3
Heat the Chili
While the potatoes are baking, heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Stir occasionally.
4
Assemble the Baked Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon a generous amount of chili on top of each potato.
5
Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili while it's hot so it melts. Add sour cream and chopped green onions if desired.
6
Serve
Serve the chili and cheese baked potatoes warm, and enjoy!
