Baked Potato

Sour Cream

Method

Baked Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.

  2. 2

    Season and Wrap

    Rub the potatoes with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil to help them bake evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Place the wrapped potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the flesh.

  4. 4

    Prepare Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings: crumble the cooked bacon, shred the cheddar cheese, and chop the chives.

Side Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully unwrap them. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Add a tablespoon of butter, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Place the loaded baked potatoes on plates alongside a generous scoop of sour cream and a serving of the side salad.
