📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash and scrub potatoes, pat dry. Rub potatoes with butter and place in baking pan, bake at 350 for ⏱️ 1 hour and ⏱️ 15 minutes or until the done.
2
Remove from oven and cool slightly. When the potatoes have cooled enough to touch, peel 4 of the potatoes, we will need the skin on the 5th potato.
3
While potatoes are cooling, add fennel seeds to milk and half and half, and scald the milk. Scalding is heating milk at a moderated temperature just until a boiling point but not boiling and quickly remove from heat.
4
Scalding will keep the mixture from separating. Let milk cool slightly with fennel seeds in the mixture. When potatoes or cool enough to work with carefully cut 4 in half and place in a food processor.
5
Potatoes should measure out to 1 1/2 - 2 cups cooked potato. Dice the 5th potato and set aside, leave the potato skins on this potato. To the cooked potato add sour cream, chives, salt, pepper, celery salt and 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese.
