Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 cup Coconut yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and black pepper, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside feels soft when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the topping by mixing the coconut yogurt and nutritional yeast in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit in each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 11

Squeeze the sides of the potatoes gently to open them up.

Step 12

Spoon the coconut yogurt mixture over each potato, then sprinkle with fresh chopped chives.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Perfect Baked Potato.
