Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter (optional)
- Cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.
- Poke several holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Rub the potatoes with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and the skin is crispy.
- Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to fluff the inside.
- Add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with chopped chives, and season with salt and pepper.
- Top with butter and cheddar cheese if desired, and enjoy your homemade baked potato!

Handy Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding some garlic powder to the sour cream mixture.
- Make sure to use a fork to poke the potatoes; this allows steam to escape and prevents them from bursting.
- If you want an even crispier skin, broil the potatoes for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
Ingredient Swaps
- Sour Cream: Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative.
- Chives: Green onions or scallions can be swapped in for a similar flavor.
- Butter: Olive oil or a dairy-free margarine can replace butter for a vegan option.
