INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 baking potatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Very good recipe! I added sour cream to the potato mixture, and I also topped the potato off with a dollop of sour cream and some bacon bits after baking. Here's a little short cut I used to cut down on prep time, I microwaved the potatoes first, then baked them for 10-15 mins to crisp up the skins, prepared the potato mixture, then baked them in the oven for the last 15 mins.

These were very bland. I will just stick with my tried and true. I cut the potatoes in half and scoop out holding the potato with a potholder. I use about 1/2 cup of butter, add sour cream, garlic salt, no egg, and a package of Concord Foods Potato toppers, and of course, the cheese, and then top with more cheese. I usually make them ahead of time, refrigerate, and then bake at 325F for 30 - 35 minutes.

GREAT!!! I doubled the cheese and used Ranch Dressing instead of Milk. The only problem I had was that the oil on the skins gave me lots of smoke from the oven, i must have done something wrong there. but all in all great recipe! Everyone loved them - Thanks!!
