Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your potatoes cook evenly and become perfectly tender.
- 2
Prepare the Potatoes
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- 3
Poke Holes
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato. This allows steam to escape during cooking and prevents them from bursting in the oven.
- 4
Season the Potatoes
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cooking
- 5
Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- 6
Remove from Oven
Once baked, carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serving
- 7
Cut and Fill
Cut a slit down the center of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently squeeze the ends to open the potato.
- 8
Add Butter and Sour Cream
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato, followed by a generous spoonful of sour cream.
- 9
Garnish
Sprinkle chopped chives on top. If desired, add optional toppings like shredded cheese, bacon bits, or green onions.
