Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • Bacon bits optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly.
  • Pierce each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape.
  • Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  • Once cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise.
  • Carefully scoop out the inside of the potatoes into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skin.
  • Add butter, sour cream, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the scooped potato.
  • Mix until smooth and creamy, then fold in green onions.
  • Stuff the potato skins with the creamy mixture and top with additional cheese, if desired.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
