This Sour Cream and Chive Baked Potato recipe is a simple, yet flavorful side dish that's perfect for any meal. The creamy texture paired with the aromatic chives creates a classic combination that everyone will love.
Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and skins are slightly crisp.
Remove potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Make a slit on the top of each potato and gently squeeze from both ends to push out the flesh slightly.
Top each potato with butter, a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, chopped chives, and freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
This dish can be paired with a grilled steak or roasted chicken for a complete meal. It can also be served as a vegetarian option by itself. Adjust toppings and seasonings according to your taste preferences.
