Twice Baked Potatoes

Ingredients
4 baking potatoes 
½ cup sour cream
½ cup milk
2 tbsp. butter
½ cup green onion/ scallions, chopped
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
Oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
Under running water, scrub the potatoes clean. Poke each potato several times with a fork to help release pressure build-up during cooking.
Rub each potato with a small amount of oil. Place on the centre rack of the oven and bake at 400 degrees for about 1 hour or until cooked through. Alternately, you can bake them in a microwave on high for 10-20 minutes. Check your microwave instruction booklet for recommended time.

Once baked, allow them to cool enough to handle. Slice the top off of each potato and scoop out the insides, forming a boat.

Place the potato filling into a bowl. Add the milk, butter and sour cream.  Using a hand mixer, mix until smooth. If you prefer a slightly chunky potato, use a hand-held potato master instead. Salt and pepper to taste.

Here you have two options:
1. If all of your potatoes will have the same ingredients, you can add  scallions and cheddar cheese into the mashed potatoes now. Mix well.
2. If your potatoes will have different ‘toppings’, then you will add those later.
Divide the potato filling into 4 parts and return to the skin “boats”.  Top with scallions and cheese if not already included.
