Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and scrub the potatoes clean under cold water, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Pierce each potato with a fork a few times on all sides to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the filling by mixing vegan sour cream, chopped chives, nutritional yeast, vegan butter, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and creamy.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until easy to handle.
Cut a lengthwise slit on the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open up the center.
Fluff the inside of the potato with a fork, being careful not to break the skin, and add a dollop of the prepared vegan filling to each potato.
Serve the jacket potatoes hot, garnished with extra chives if desired.
