Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Muenster cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pat them dry, and lightly coat their skins with olive oil to help crisp them during baking. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Step 3

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.

Step 5

Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin to help maintain structure.

Step 6

Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix well until creamy.

Step 7

Fold in 1 cup of the shredded Muenster cheese and 2 tablespoons of the chopped scallions, reserving the rest for garnish.

Step 8

Spoon the potato mixture evenly back into the hollowed-out potato skins, mounding it slightly on top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded Muenster cheese over each stuffed potato.

Step 10

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with the remaining chopped scallions.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cheesy Muenster Stuffed Potatoes!
