Baked Potatoes

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    Prick 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 tender when pierced with a fork.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings by mixing sour cream with chopped chives (if using) in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven. Cut a slit in the top of each potato, add a pat of butter, and top with sour cream mixture. Serve hot.
