Ingredients

• 4 Medium Russet Potatoes
• 0 as needed Olive Oil Spray
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, carefully pierce each potato a few times all over. This ensures steam can escape and prevents bursting during cooking.

Step 4

Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the potatoes on all sides with olive oil spray, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 7

Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes, ensuring all sides are well seasoned.

Step 8

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the inside is tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Slice each potato lengthwise, gently fluffing the inside with a fork. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh chives if using, and serve immediately while warm.
