Sour cream and chives baked potato Recipe Tips

Choose the Right Potato: Use russet potatoes for their fluffy texture and thick skin, which holds up well during baking.
Prep for Crispiness: To achieve a crispy skin, scrub the potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Season Generously: Before baking, coat the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt.
Check Doneness: Test for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the potato; it should slide in easily.
Add Flavorful Toppings: For the best results, top the baked potatoes with a mixture of sour cream, chopped fresh chives, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Serve Warm: Serve the potatoes hot to enjoy the creamy and flavorful toppings at their best.
Customize Toppings: Feel free to add extras like crispy bacon bits, green onions, or a dash of paprika for extra flavor and texture.
