Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Using a fork, poke a few holes around each potato to prevent them from bursting in the oven.
Step 3
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet) and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 4
Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes (they will be hot!).
Step 5
Using a small knife, cut a lengthwise slit across the top of each potato. Scoop out the inside of each potato into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin shell intact.
Step 6
Add the butter, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the potato insides in the mixing bowl. Mash everything together using a potato masher or fork until smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Step 7
Scoop the mashed potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potato skins, dividing it evenly between them. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top, if desired.
Step 8
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped green onions, if using, and serve warm. Enjoy your 'put-back' potatoes!
