Baked Potato Ingredients

Method

Baked Potato Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Poke and Oil

    Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during baking. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly.

  4. 4

    Season

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the potatoes, making sure to coat all sides.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives to taste. Enjoy!
