Description

A delicious recipe for twice baked cheddar potato skins stuffed with creamy potato filling and topped with melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium Russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub and dry potatoes. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Let cool slightly, then slice in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a bit around the edges.
  4. In a bowl, mix the scooped potato flesh with butter, sour cream, half of the cheese, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  5. Refill potato skins with the mixture, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
