Twice-baked Cheddar Potatoes

5.0(6)

My husband BEGS me to make these constantly! They are so good, my whole family eats them up. There are NEVER any leftovers! Prep time includes baking potatoes the first time. Not the healthiest recipe, so I only make them 4 or 5 times a year.

4 large potatoes, rinsed and scrubbedpotato
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheesecheddar
1/4 cup milkmilk
1/4 cup butterbutter
salt and peppersalt-and-pepper
chopped fresh chives (optional)chive

Instructions (9 steps)

01Bake potatoes in oven until easily pierced with fork.
02(I do not recommend microwaving them, it makes the skin very soft and potatoes will fall apart when stuffing) Cut off, lengthwise, top 1/3 of potatoes.
03Scoop out potato with spoon into a medium mixing bowl, leaving shells intact.
04Add butter, cheese, salt, and pepper to potatoes.
05Blend with a hand-held mixer, adding milk a little bit at a time until mixture is creamy but still pretty thick (you may not need all of the milk, or you may need more, depending on the potatoes used, how long they were baked, etc.).
