Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, washed and dried with skin on
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon white or black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon chives or scallions, chopped

Toppings:

  • 2 Tablespoons shredded cheese
  • 1 piece bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425° F
    Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and spray with non-stick spray.
  • Chop scallions or chives and set aside.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes. Leave the skin on.
  • On a cutting board, place each potato between chopsticks (or two wooden spoons). This will insure that you don't slice all the way through the potato.
  • Slice the potatoes by cutting straight down through the potato from top to bottom in increments of 1/8th to 1/4th inches, making sure to stop about 3/4th of the way down.
  • In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and brush the olive oil mixture onto the outside of the potatoes making sure to drizzle it into the slits.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until outside skin is lightly crisp and the inside is tender. Time will vary based on potato size.
  • If desired, add cheese and return to oven for about 5 minutes to let the cheese melt before serving.
  • Add additional toppings and top each potato with scallions or chives, plus herbs.

Notes

  • Nutritional information does not include optional toppings
  • Baking times will vary
  • We use medium size Russets. Yukon Golds or other small potatoes will likely need less time and sweet potatoes will likely need more time
