Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 10 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub potatoes and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Place directly on oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While potatoes bake, cook bacon until crispy, then crumble. Shred cheese and chop chives.
- Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly. Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
- Top each potato with butter, then cheese, sour cream, bacon, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispy skin, rub potatoes with oil and salt before baking.
- Offer additional toppings like broccoli, chili, or salsa for variety.
- Leftover baked potatoes can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
