Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water to clean them. Pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 2

    Prick and Season

    Using a fork, prick each potato several times to create steam vents. Rub them with olive oil, then sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.

  3. 3

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit in the top of each potato, add butter and chives if desired, and enjoy!
