Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup green onions (scallions), chopped
- 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup vegan sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush each potato with olive oil to coat the skin evenly. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and ground black pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. Finely chop the green onions and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Carefully cut a slit lengthwise on each potato and gently squeeze the sides to open the potato slightly.
Fluff the potato flesh using a fork and add a dollop of vegan sour cream into each potato.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast and garlic powder over the potatoes for extra flavor.
Top each potato with chopped green onions and serve immediately while warm.
