Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes scrubbed clean
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon salt kosher
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chives finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted, softened
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 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.
