Remove the potatoes from the oven.
Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the sides to fluff the inside.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Place a slice of butter inside each hot potato so it melts naturally.
Season with black pepper and sprinkle chopped chives on top.
Tips for the Best Baked Potato
Russet potatoes are best for baking because of their fluffy texture.
For extra crispy skin, bake directly on the oven rack.
You can add sour cream, cheese, or bacon for variation.
