Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.

Step 3

Use a fork to pierce the potatoes several times all over. This helps steam escape during baking.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the sour cream mixture. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream, butter (melted), heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth, creamy mixture.

Step 6

Grate the cheddar cheese and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are baked, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell intact. Place the scooped-out potato flesh into the sour cream mixture.

Step 9

Mash the potato flesh and mix it into the sour cream mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Step 10

Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly on top.

Step 11

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and top each one with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Desert Sour Cream Potatoes!
