Ingredients

• 4 whole Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 0.5 cups Sun-dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 1 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the russet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 4

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly until safe to handle. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, cut the top third off each potato lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell, and transfer the potato flesh to a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the potato flesh. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 8

Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly. Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the potatoes.

Step 10

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
