Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 peppers Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the chipotle peppers and set them aside.

Step 6

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes, or until they are easy to handle.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit on each potato. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh intact to form a sturdy shell.

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, butter, sour cream, chopped chipotle peppers, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and the remaining salt. Mash until smooth and well-combined.

Step 9

Scoop the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.

Step 10

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 11

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 12

Remove from oven and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy!
