Baked Potato Ingredients

Preparation

Baked Potato Directions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a towel.

2. Season the Potatoes

Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub each potato with olive oil, and sprinkle them generously with salt and pepper.

3. Bake the Potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces through the potato.

4. Prepare the Toppings

While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings: chop the chives, and shred the cheddar cheese.

5. Serve

Once the potatoes are done, remove them 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, shredded cheese, and chopped chives as desired.
