Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water and scrub the skin gently with a brush to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then rub it in with your hands, ensuring each potato is evenly coated. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the potatoes.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the skins are crispy and a fork can easily pierce through the center of the potatoes.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes before handling.
Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of low-fat sour cream into each potato and scatter the fresh chives on top.
Serve the low-fat baked potatoes hot as a delicious side dish or light main course.
