Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup green onions (scallions), chopped
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Brush each potato with olive oil to coat the skin evenly. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. Finely chop the green onions and set aside.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Carefully cut a slit lengthwise on each potato and gently squeeze the sides to open the potato slightly.
Step 8
Fluff the potato flesh using a fork and add a dollop of vegan sour cream into each potato.
Step 9
Sprinkle nutritional yeast and garlic powder over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Step 10
Top each potato with chopped green onions and serve immediately while warm.
