Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb Russet potatoes Choose large potatoes for ample stuffing.
  • 1 cup cream cheese Softened for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Use sharp cheddar for more flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced for better flavor absorption.
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives Chopped for garnish.
  • 1 tsp salt To taste.
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper Adjust according to preference.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork several times.
  • Bake the potatoes for about 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut them open and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Spoon the cheese mixture back into the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly.
  • Garnish with chives before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños to the cheese mixture. Serve with sour cream for extra creaminess.
