Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 4 tablespoons coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle them evenly with sea salt and pepper.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one for even cooking.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the inside is tender. You can test this by inserting a fork into the center; it should go in easily.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each one open lengthwise and gently fluff with a fork.
Top each potato with 1 tablespoon of coconut cream and sprinkle with freshly chopped rosemary, thyme, and chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory Paleo perfect baked potato!
