Ingredients for Baked Potato

Method

Directions for Baked Potato

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Scrub the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle salt generously over them.

  4. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit down the center of each potato, add butter, sour cream, and sprinkle with chives. Season with black pepper to taste.
