Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Using a fork, pierce each potato 4-5 times to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

Step 5

Rub this seasoning mixture generously over the entire surface of each potato. Make sure every inch of the skin is coated in oil and seasoning for maximum flavor.

Step 6

Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the oven rack, or place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft when pierced with a knife or fork.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Slice each potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently press the ends to open them up slightly.

Step 10

Add a pat of unsalted butter to each potato and fluff the inside with a fork to mix the melted butter into the fluffy flesh.

Step 11

Optional: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions for extra flavor.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of crispy skin and soft interior!
