Enjoy these crispy and flavorful oven-baked potatoes, perfect as a side dish or a snack.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Drying the potatoes helps the oil adhere better, resulting in a crispier finish.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Piercing the potatoes prevents them from bursting in the oven or microwave.
Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate, cover with damp paper towels, and microwave on high for 8 minutes.
Microwaving the potatoes first reduces the overall cooking time in the oven.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through for even crisping.
Turning the potatoes halfway ensures they crisp up evenly on all sides.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh chives, and a pat of butter.
Adding the toppings while the potatoes are warm enhances the flavors and creates a creamy texture.
