baked potato with butter and chives.
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes
2 tablespoons butter (or more to taste)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh chives or green onions, chopped
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash the potatoes well and scrub the skin. Pat them dry with a towel.
- Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet) and bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until the inside is soft and the skin is crispy.
- Remove from the oven, cut a slit in the center of each potato, and gently press the ends to open it.
- Add a slice of butter inside, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and chopped chives.
- Serve hot.
👉 You can also add toppings like sour cream, grated cheese, or crispy bacon if you like.
