Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove dirt, then dry them with a kitchen towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt for added flavor.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the skin is crispy, and a knife easily slides into the center.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the chive sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped chives, garlic powder, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each potato and gently press the ends to open them slightly.
Top each potato generously with the prepared chive sauce and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped chives for presentation.
