1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Prepare the Potatoes
Scrub the Russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
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
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
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.
