- Large russet potatoes (or any other larger potato with a thick skin)
- Sour Cream
- Milk
- Butter
- Chives or green onions, finely chopped
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt & Pepper
- Paprika (optional)
Directions
- Thoroughly clean the outside of the potatoes.
- In the oven (or microwave), bake the potatoes until soft in the middle (35-45 minutes, depending on size, or 5-8 minutes in the microwave).
- Let cool until the potatoes are cool enough to handle with your hands. Cut each potato in half and scoop out the inside into a medium sized bowl, trying not to tear the skin. Place skins aside. Repeat for all the potatoes.
- In the bowl with the potato insides, add other ingredients (sour cream, milk, cheese, chives and salt and pepper) to taste. Mix thoroughly.
- Fill each potato skin with the potato mixture that you just made. If they are heaping out a little, it's ok. Sprinkle with paprika and place in a large glass pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are slightly crispy.
