Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.33 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Use a fork to poke holes all over each potato to allow steam to escape.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking tray. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin to maintain the shell's structure. Transfer the scooped-out potato flesh to a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the butter, sour cream, and milk to the potato flesh in the bowl. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Mix in the blue cheese, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Spoon the potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potato skins, mounding it slightly.

Step 9

Place the stuffed potato halves on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 10

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve hot.
