The Method

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Scrub potatoes clean and pat dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
3
Rub potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4
Place potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet (for easier cleanup).
5
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and the skin is crispy. Baking time depends on the size of the potatoes.
6
While potatoes are baking, heat the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Alternatively, heat in the microwave.
7
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
8
Slice each potato lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork.
9
Top each potato with chili, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Garnish with green onions and any other desired toppings.

Chef's Tips

For a quicker cooking method, you can microwave the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before baking them in the oven.

To make ahead, bake the potatoes and prepare the chili separately. Store them in the refrigerator until ready to assemble. Reheat the chili and potatoes before topping.

Use foil to wrap potatoes for baking for a softer skin.
