Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a fork, pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on the oven rack for a crispier skin.
Brush each potato with olive oil, ensuring the skin is well coated. This helps crisp the skin during baking.
Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender through to the center when pierced with a fork.
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Cut a slit down the middle of each potato, being careful of the steam, and gently press both ends toward the center to fluff the interior.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives before serving for an added burst of flavor.
