Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Step 5
Rub each potato generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 6
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. For easy cleanup, you can line the sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 7
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. To test doneness, insert a fork or skewer into the center of a potato; it should easily slide through without resistance.
Step 8
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 9
Using a knife, make a deep cut lengthwise across the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the ends to open them slightly and fluff the insides with a fork.
Step 10
Top with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium baked potatoes as a delicious side dish or simply on their own!
