Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large baking potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 -4 tablespoons chopped chives
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
shredded cheddar cheese, to top potato or paprika, to sprinkle on top

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork several times.
Bake on a cookie sheet for 1 hour. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes. You should be able to stick a fork in each potato without any resistance.
If you are going to bake potatoes right away, decrease oven temp to 350.
When potatoes are cool enough for you to hold in your hand, take a knife and slice off the top of the potato (along one of the long sides).
Take a small spoon and scoop out the insides of the potatoes and putting it in a microwave safe bowl. Take care to keep the shell intact.
Mix potato with butter, sour cream, milk, chives, cheese, salt and pepper.
Microwave mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir well and microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat until the mixture is steaming hot throughout.
With a spoon, scoop the hot mixture back into the shells and top with cheese or paprika.
Place potatoes on a cookie sheet lined with foil and place in oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted or potato is lightly browned.
