For the Casserole
  • 4 large Russet potatoes provides the base structure and fluffy texture

  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese offers rich flavors and a gooey texture; can substitute with Monterey Jack or dairy-free options
  • 1/4 cup Butter melted, enhances flavor and moisture; use olive oil as a lighter alternative
  • 1/2 cup Green onions chopped, adds freshness and a mild onion flavor; substitute with chives if desired
  • Salt and pepper to taste for enhancing overall flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the potatoes, poke holes in each, and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  2. Cool the potatoes for about 10 minutes, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  3. In the bowl, mix potato insides with sour cream, milk, melted butter, half of the cheese, chopped green onions, and season with salt and pepper; mash until creamy.
  4. Spread the mixture back into the potato skins or in a greased casserole dish; top with remaining cheese and optional crispy fried onions.
  5. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
