Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle them with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the skins are crisp.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a cross shape or slit on the top of each potato, being careful not to cut it completely in half.
Step 7
Using your fingers (or a towel for protection), gently squeeze the ends of each potato to open up the top, forming a pocket.
Step 8
Sprinkle the vegan shredded cheddar cheese inside each potato and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with a generous dollop of vegan sour cream.
Step 10
Sprinkle chopped chives and a bit of garlic powder over the top for added flavor.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious vegan baked potato with cheese and sour cream!
