Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Poke several holes all over each potato using a fork. This allows steam to escape during cooking.
Rub about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each potato, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the potatoes and add a pinch of black pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork or skewer passes easily through the center.
While the potatoes are baking, chop the fresh chives finely and set aside for later use.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully cut a slit in the top of each potato.
Fluff the interior with a fork, creating a soft and airy texture. Sprinkle garlic powder over the fluffed potato interior.
Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of dairy-free sour cream and sprinkle with fresh chives before serving.
Serve warm as a delicious, dairy-free option.
