Method

Preparation of Potatoes

  1. 1

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. Make sure to coat them evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake

    Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skin is crispy.

Preparing the Filling

  1. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the pulled chicken, Catupiry, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined. If you want extra richness, you can add shredded cheese to the mixture.

Assembling the Baked Potato

  1. 5

    Stuff the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the middle of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Stuff each potato with the filling mixture generously.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top each stuffed potato with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chives, and a dash of paprika for added flavor and color.

Final Touch

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Idaho Baked Potatoes hot, with additional sour cream and chives on the side if desired.
