📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat over to 400 degrees.
2
Rinse and dry the potatoes then place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and massage to coat. And don’t get too attached- you know how this will end.
3
Bake for 35 to ⏱️ 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Set aside for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
4
Place the sour cream, cream cheese, Monterey Jack, chives, garlic, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Garlic, Pressed1 cloveSalt And Pepper, to taste
5
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. With a spoon or melon baller, scoop out inside of the potatoes, leaving a very thin rim of potato inside the skin. Add the potato pulp to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients. Using a potato masher or fork, gently mash the ingredients together until fluffy and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning – be sure to salt it adequately. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.
6
At this point, you can flash freeze the potatoes if you want: Stick the pan in the freezer, uncovered, and allow them to harden on the outside for about ⏱️ 20 minutes or so. Then simply throw them into a couple of large Ziploc bags, seal them tightly, and freeze them until you need them.
7
When you’re ready, bake the potatoes in a 375 degree oven until thoroughly warmed through.
8
The potatoes will soften, “melt”, and fill the potato shells as they bake. Yummmmmm.
