Baked Potato with Butter and Green Onions

Ingredients:

2 large Russet potatoes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon chopped green onions (or chives)

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Olive oil (optional, for crispy skin)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to clean the skins. Pat them dry.

Optional: Rub the potato skins with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt for a crispier texture.

Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.

Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for about 45–60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife or fork.

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open it up.

Add a tablespoon of butter to the center of each potato.

Sprinkle with chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot and enjoy!
