Ingredients:

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Bake Potatoes:
    Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 45–60 minutes, or until tender. Let them cool slightly.
  3. Prepare Filling:
    Slice each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a bowl, leaving a thin layer to maintain the shell’s shape.
  4. Make the Mixture:
    Mash the scooped-out potato with butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stuff and Top:
    Spoon the cheesy mixture back into the potato skins. Top each with a little extra cheese.
  6. Bake Again:
    Place stuffed potatoes on a baking tray and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot!
