Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pat dry.
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place potatoes directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet. Bake for 45–60 minutes, until skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces the center.
Air Fryer Option: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place potatoes in the basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Cook for 35–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and crispy.
Insert a fork or knife to ensure the inside is soft and fluffy.
Slice open the baked potatoes and top with butter, sour cream, and chopped chives or parsley if desired.
