Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Grated cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water and dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated. Sprinkle the sea salt over the oiled potatoes, making sure salt is distributed evenly across the surface.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack in the preheated oven. To catch any drippings, place a baking sheet on the rack below.
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the potatoes' skins are crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
Using a sharp knife, carefully make a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato. Use your hands (protected by a clean kitchen towel) or fork to gently squeeze either end of the potato to puff up the interior.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the inside of each potato, allowing it to melt into the flesh.
Sprinkle each potato with a portion of the grated cheddar cheese and return to the oven for another 5 minutes until cheese melts.
Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve immediately as a comforting main or side dish.
