Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub the 4 potatoes and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Step 2
Rub the potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp kosher salt. Place directly on the oven rack.
Step 3
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a knife slides in easily. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While potatoes bake, chop 2 tbsp chives. In a small bowl, mix the chives with 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Split each potato open with a knife, fluff the inside with a fork.
Step 6
Top each potato with a generous dollop of the sour cream mixture. Serve immediately.
