Method

Preparation

1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare the Potatoes
Scrub the Russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
3
Salt the Potatoes
Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during baking. Rub the potatoes with Maldon sea salt to coat them evenly.

Baking

4
Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.

Toppings Preparation

5
Cook the Bacon
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
6
Chop the Chives
Finely chop the chives and set aside for garnishing.

Serving

7
Assemble the Loaded Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up.
8
Add the Toppings
Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato, followed by a generous amount of cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, and chopped chives. Sprinkle with additional Maldon sea salt if desired.
9
Serve
Serve hot and enjoy your Maldon Crusted Baked Potatoes!
