Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Pinch of fresh black pepper
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter cubed
  • Sour cream optional
  • 1 tablespoon spring onions chopped

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using a fork, poke a few holes in the potatoes on all sides.
  • Rub the potatoes with olive oil. Season with black pepper and sea salt, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the potatoes for at least 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft inside and the skin is crispy. Remove from the oven.
  • Using a small paring knife, slice halfway through the potato and gently squeeze each potato open.
  • Top each baked potato with a tablespoon of butter, a dollop of sour cream, if desired, and the chopped spring onions. Serve warm!

Tips & Notes:

  • Hole-poking gives you perfectly baked potatoes. During baking, steam escapes through the holes, which prevents the potatoes from exploding.
