Sliced Baked Potatoes

These delightful baked potatoes are perfect for any occasion — whether you’re entertaining guests or just indulging in a cozy night in watching your favorite show. The crispy exterior combined with the fluffy interior makes every bite a taste of heaven!

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, because we don’t want a burnt offering!
Start by scrubbing your russet potatoes under some cold water. Give them a good rinse to remove any dirt and bad vibes.
Poke the potatoes several times with a fork, as they need to breathe! Then, coat each potato generously with olive oil, ensuring they’re shiny and ready for their big oven debut.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This is your secret seasoning blend that’s about to make your potatoes sing!
Sprinkle your magic seasoning all over the potatoes, rubbing it in like you’re giving them a spa day.
Place the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until fork-tender and beautifully golden brown. It’s worth the wait, trust us!
Once they’re out of the oven and cooled just a tad, slice them open lengthwise, but don’t go all the way through! We want them to be like little potato boats ready to be filled with deliciousness.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously inside the potato halves. Pop them back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until that cheese is melty and delicious.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of green onions, and chives if you’re feeling fancy. Voilà! Your sliced baked potatoes are ready to shine!

Serve these beauties as a stunning side dish or snack and watch them disappear while you bask in the glory of your culinary creation!
