Make a vegan-loaded baked potato steakhouse style with a perfectly salted, crispy skin, fluffy interior, and all your favorite toppings, including butter, sour cream, green onions, and bacon bits! This recipe mirrors what you'd find at a steakhouse but made with plant-based alternatives.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes, then dry them completely.
Using a fork, poke each potato about 3 - 4 times. Then, rub the potatoes with olive oil and lightly sprinkle them with kosher salt. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and set it in the center of the oven rack.
Bake the potatoes for 1 hour, or until they are extremely soft, fork-tender, and the skin is crispy. Note: Baking time may vary based on the size of the potatoes. Smaller potatoes typically cook faster, whereas larger ones may require up to 75 minutes.
Once baked, make lengthwise slits on the top of each potato. Add a desired amount of vegan butter, sour cream, chives, and vegan cheese.
Notes
How to store and reheat your baked potato: Let it cool to room temperature, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate for 3-5 days. The longer the potato is stored, the more it will lose its crisp exterior. Freezing a baked potato is not recommended.
