Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Clean the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Use a fork to prick each potato several times which allows steam to escape while baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring theyβre coated evenly. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes to season them.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes. They are ready when the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.
While the potatoes are baking, rinse and chop the fresh chives into small pieces. Set aside.
Once baked, carefully remove the potatoes from the oven using oven mitts.
Cut a slit lengthwise across the top of each potato. Gently squeeze the ends towards each other to open up the potato.
Top each potato with a generous dollop of dairy-free sour cream.
Sprinkle fresh chives over the sour cream.
Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
