  • Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat, aiming for around 400°F. Allow about 10 minutes for the griddle to reach the desired heat level.
  • Wash your 4 large russet potatoes under cold running water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Using a fork, pierce each potato 6-8 times, then drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, coating them thoroughly. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.
  • Place the seasoned potatoes onto the hot griddle, spaced apart for even cooking. Close the lid and cook for approximately 40-50 minutes, flipping every 15 minutes.
  • At the 40-minute mark, begin checking your baked potatoes for doneness with a knife or instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove the potatoes from heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Slice open each potato lengthwise, add butter, sour cream, and sprinkle with chives, extra salt, and pepper to taste.

Notes

Use large russet potatoes for the best texture. Don't underestimate the importance of the fork piercings and generous olive oil for crisp skins. Experiment with toppings to enhance flavors.
