Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the edges to maintain the shell’s integrity.
Place the scooped potato flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Add the butter, goat cheese, whole milk, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Fold in half of the chopped chives and 1/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheddar cheese and a light dusting of paprika.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and golden.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining chives.
Serve warm and enjoy!
