Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, pierce each potato several times all over to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper, evenly covering the surface.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the inside is tender. You can test this by inserting a fork or skewer – it should easily slide through.
While the potatoes are baking, wash the green onions and finely chop them.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise cut across the top of each potato to open them up slightly. Use a fork to fluff the insides gently.
Drizzle a small amount of fresh lemon juice over the fluffy potato to add some freshness and brightness.
Top each potato with a generous amount of the chopped green onions.
Serve the baked potatoes while warm, and enjoy them as a delicious and compliant dish in your Whole30 journey.
