Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Potato
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the Idaho potato under running water to remove any dirt. Pat it dry with a towel.
- 2
Bake the Potato
Using a fork, poke several holes in the potato. This allows steam to escape during baking. Place the potato directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

Add Toppings
Once baked, remove the potato from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center and gently squeeze the ends to open it up. Add butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and chives on top of the potato to your liking.
