Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium russet potatoes baked and cooled enough to handle
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon butter shredded
  • 2-3 teaspoons Milk to help loosen up the potatoes as needed
  • seasoning salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives or thinly sliced green onions to garnish, optional
  • Paprika optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Slice each baked potato in half horizontally. Remove potato pulp without cutting through the skin (you'll want sturdy sides so don't remove too much).
  2. Place the pulp in a bowl and mix with the other ingredients except for the chives.
  3. Taste for seasoning and add more seasoning salt and/or salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Bake at 350º until heated through, about 20 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with chives, sliced scallions, and/or paprika if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze unbaked stuffed potatoes. Just wrap them tightly in foil and keep them in the freezer for up to a month. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Tip 3: These potatoes are great alongside grilled meats or a fresh salad, making them a versatile side dish.
  • Tip 4: Try adding ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or different cheeses to customize your filling.
  • Tip 5: Fresh herbs like parsley or dill also make great garnishes, adding color and freshness.
