Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Coarse kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and ensure your oven rack is positioned in the middle.

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove all dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Use a fork to poke 6–8 holes evenly around each potato. This helps steam escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle coarse kosher salt generously over the surface.

Step 5

Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the oven rack for even heat circulation. Alternatively, you can place them on a baking sheet if preferred.

Step 6

Bake the potatoes for 50–60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the interiors are soft. To test for doneness, insert a knife or skewer; it should slide in easily.

Step 7

Once baked, carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 8

For serving, slice each potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently press the ends toward the center to open up the potato.

Step 9

Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and enjoy your restaurant-style baked potatoes!
