Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons, chopped Chives
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle.
Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato flesh attached to the skin to form a shell. Place the potato flesh in a mixing bowl and set the shells aside on the baking sheet.
Add the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper to the potato flesh. Mash everything together until smooth.
Fold in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of the chopped chives.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the stuffed potatoes.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
