Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork and rub their skins with olive oil.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and 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, just enough to handle them safely.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin shell to maintain the skin's structure. Place the potato flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, sour cream, whole milk, salt, and black pepper into the mixing bowl with the potato flesh. Mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of the chopped green onions into the mashed potato mixture.
Scoop the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins, evenly distributing it among all the halves.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and top each one with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
