Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly.
Using a fork, poke several holes in each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are completely coated.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with sea salt and garlic powder.
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes until tender, a fork should easily pierce the skin and flesh of the potatoes.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the Whole30 'sour cream'. In a small bowl, combine the coconut cream, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside for garnish.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
To serve, slice each baked potato lengthwise and gently push both ends to open the potatoes. Fluff the insides with a fork.
Top each potato with a generous spoonful of the Whole30 'sour cream' and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant baked potato!
