Instructions
Bake The Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Pierce the clean potatoes all over with a fork, about 6-8 times each. Rub or brush each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange the potatoes on a baking pan with a little room between them.
Bake for 75-90 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a fork slips easily into the center. The internal temperature should be 205°F to 210°F, and the potatoes should feel soft when gently squeezed with an oven mitt.
Make The Garlic-Herb Sour Cream:
In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and garlic.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, dill, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper, and mix until evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 24 hours.
Finish And Serve The Dish:
Using oven mitts, transfer the baked potatoes to serving plates or a cutting board.
Cut each potato lengthwise down the center, without cutting all the way through, then gently squeeze the ends toward each other to open.
Top each potato with about 3 tablespoons of the garlic-herb sour cream and serve immediately.
