Servings

2

Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup grated smoked cheddar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1-2 jalapeños, chopped finely
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Scrub the potatoes clean with water. Poke a few holes in the potatoes and rub with the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour.
3. Remove the potatoes, and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees. When the potatoes are cool enough to touch, slice in 3 sections lengthwise, making sure the 2 end sections are big enough to hold the fillings. Scoop out the interior of the potato and mash in a bowl, along with the milk, sour cream, cheese, butter, and jalapeños. Return the mixture to the potato skin "bowls." Return to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Garnish with scallions.
