Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle them with sea salt and black pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the skins are crisp.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a cross shape or slit on the top of each potato, being careful not to cut it completely in half.
Using your fingers (or a towel for protection), gently squeeze the ends of each potato to open up the top, forming a pocket.
Sprinkle the vegan shredded cheddar cheese inside each potato and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with a generous dollop of vegan sour cream.
Sprinkle chopped chives and a bit of garlic powder over the top for added flavor.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious vegan baked potato with cheese and sour cream!
