Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large baked potatoes Choose firm potatoes for the best texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For a sharp flavor, opt for aged cheddar.
  • 1 cup sour cream Greek yogurt can be a lighter substitute.
  • 1 cup green onions Slice thinly for garnish and flavor.
  • 1 tbsp butter Optional for richer flavor.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Bake the potatoes for about 30 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly, then slice them open and scoop out some flesh, leaving a little inside for structure.
  • In a bowl, mix the scooped potato with cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, and optional butter.
  • Fill the potato skins with the mixture and sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
  • Return the filled potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding crispy bacon bits or chopped herbs. Serve with a fresh green salad.
