Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reserve some for topping)
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and scrub the russet potatoes clean.
- Poke holes all over each potato with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 1 hour until tender.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Mix the scooped potato flesh with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- Refill the potato skins with the mixture and top with reserved cheese. Bake again at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until heated through and golden brown.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra chives if desired.
