Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Coarse sea salt
- 1 cup Vegan sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Chives
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- to taste Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt.
Using a fork, pierce each potato a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil to coat the skin completely. Sprinkle them generously with coarse sea salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the chives and prepare the toppings.
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Slice each potato open lengthwise and gently squeeze to fluff the insides.
Top each potato with a dollop of vegan sour cream, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and chopped chives.
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious vegan baked potato!
