- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water and pat them dry with a towel.
Step 3
Poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle them with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork can easily pierce the center.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnish.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the vegan sour cream, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder until well combined. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 9
Cut a slit lengthwise in each potato and gently press the ends to open them up.
Step 10
Top each potato with a generous spoonful of the vegan sour cream mixture.
Step 11
Sprinkle with chopped chives and an additional pinch of sea salt and black pepper if desired.
Step 12
Serve the baked potatoes warm as a main course or side dish.
