How to Make Rocky Mountain Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
  3. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  4. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
  6. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  8. Carefully cut a slit lengthwise in each potato and fluff the inside with a fork.
  9. Add butter and/or cheese (if using) into the fluffy potato center.
  10. Garnish with sour cream or chives (if using) and serve immediately.
