-
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
Place potatoes directly on rack and bake for 45 mins.
-
Take out, piece with fork and bake for another 15 mins.
-
Remove potatoes and hold with an oven mitt.
-
Cut the top off the potato and scoop out the middle to form a boat-like shape.
-
Make sure to leave enough potato that the skin won't collapse.
-
Put scooped out potato (skin included) in a stand mixer, add green onion, butter, sour cream, cheese, salt and pepper and beat on low to combine.
-
Be careful not to turn up to quickly or the potato pieces will shoot out (I know this from experience!). Once fully mixed scoop filling back into potatoes.
-
You may have some potato mixture left over because you've added so much good stuff to the potato!
-
Place potatoes back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
-
At the end of 30 minutes, turn onto broil to get a brown crispy top.
-
Serve immediately, or let cool wrap and plastic and freeze for another day.
