Introduction:

Stuffed potatoes are a timeless comfort food, known for their rich, creamy, and savory flavors. This dish is highly versatile, offering endless variations to suit any taste or occasion. Whether served as a main course, a side dish, or a hearty snack, stuffed potatoes are a perfect way to elevate the humble potato into a satisfying, mouthwatering treat. With a crispy skin on the outside and a creamy, flavorful filling inside, they are a crowd-pleaser for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients:

4 medium russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed for desired creaminess)
2 tbsp butter
Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Using a fork, prick several holes in each potato.

Bake the Potatoes: Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Prepare the Filling: Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain the shape.

Mash the Potato Flesh: In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, milk, and half of the cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the Potatoes: Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits (if using).
Bake Again: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Serving and Storage Tips:

Serving Suggestions: Stuffed potatoes can be served as a standalone meal or paired with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables. They’re also great as a side dish to grilled meats or as a snack for gatherings.

Storage: Store leftover stuffed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven for the best texture, or microwave them for a quicker option.
