  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    4 medium russet potatoes, 2-4 Tablespoons olive oil, 2-3 teaspoons coarse Kosher salt
  • Remove from oven and slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and transfer them to a large bowl, leaving about 1/8"-1/4" of shell to hold the filling. Arrange shells on the baking sheet.
  • Add the warm milk, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and mash with a potato masher. Add half of the cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed or add more milk if the potato filling seems too dry.
    1/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup salted butter, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 ounces cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 3-4 green onions, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fill each shell with the potato filling, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot all the way through and the cheese has melted on top.
