Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Russet Potatoes
- as needed Olive Oil Spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, carefully pierce each potato a few times all over. This ensures steam can escape and prevents bursting during cooking.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the potatoes on all sides with olive oil spray, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes, ensuring all sides are well seasoned.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the inside is tender when pierced with a fork.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven. Let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Slice each potato lengthwise, gently fluffing the inside with a fork. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Garnish with fresh chives if using, and serve immediately while warm.
