Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- 3
Prick the potatoes
Using a fork, prick each potato several times on all sides. This allows steam to escape during baking.
- 4
Season the potatoes
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
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 skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.

Serve the baked potatoes
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato, fluff the insides with a fork, and add butter, sour cream, and chives as desired.
