1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Season and Bake
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.
3
Prepare the Toppings
While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings: cook bacon until crispy and crumble it, chop the chives, and set aside the sour cream and shredded cheese.
4
Load the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato, and gently push the ends to open them up. Add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, add crumbled bacon, and top with chopped chives.
5
Serve
Serve the loaded baked potatoes warm and enjoy your delicious meal!
