Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, pierce each potato 4-5 times to allow steam to escape during baking.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Rub this seasoning mixture generously over the entire surface of each potato. Make sure every inch of the skin is coated in oil and seasoning for maximum flavor.
Place the seasoned potatoes directly on the oven rack, or place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft when pierced with a knife or fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Slice each potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently press the ends to open them up slightly.
Add a pat of unsalted butter to each potato and fluff the inside with a fork to mix the melted butter into the fluffy flesh.
Optional: Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of crispy skin and soft interior!
