Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 small shallots
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes clean under cool water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub each potato generously with olive oil, ensuring the entire surface is coated. Sprinkle them evenly with kosher salt.

Step 5

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are fork-tender.

Step 6

While the potatoes bake, prepare the shallot corn butter. Finely chop the shallots and set them aside.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 8

Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they become soft and translucent.

Step 9

Stir in the corn kernels and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Season the shallot corn butter with garlic powder, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Stir well and remove from the heat.

Step 11

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Cut a large slit down the middle of each potato and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

Step 13

Spoon the warm shallot corn butter generously into the opening of each potato.

Step 14

Top with additional chopped parsley for garnish and sour cream if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
