Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing the skin to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

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

Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open it up. Add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives to your liking. Serve hot.
