Potato Skins with Sour Cream and Chives

Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 tbsp fresh chives

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub the 4 potatoes and prick each with a fork. Microwave for 5 minutes to speed up cooking, or skip if you prefer.

2. 2

   Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Save the scooped potato for another use.

3. 3

   Brush both sides of the skins with the 2 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake for 20-25 minutes until the skins are crisp and golden brown, flipping halfway. They should feel firm and look lightly blistered.

5. 5

   Flip the skins cut-side up. Top each with a spoonful of the 1/2 cup sour cream and sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped chives. Serve warm.
