Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water and dry them with a towel. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Step 3
Rub the olive oil evenly over the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Step 4
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.
Step 5
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skins to maintain their shape.
Step 6
Place the scooped-out potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Add cream cheese, butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of the chopped chives.
Step 8
Scoop the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly. Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the stuffed potatoes.
Step 10
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 11
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
