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

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

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    Poke each potato several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake the Potatoes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the potatoes from the oven. Cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to fluff the insides. Add butter, sour cream, and chopped chives as desired.
