Ingredients
- 2 Russet potatoes, medium sized
- 1 tbsp. Butter, room temperature
- Cheese of your liking, shredded (cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan are typical)
- 1 Green onion, chopped
- 1/2 Tomato, chopped
- 1/4 c Creme fraîche or sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Poke potatoes all over with a fork and bake for 1 hour. The potatoes will be done pierced with a sharp knife and render little-to-no resistance.
- Increase oven temp to 475°F. Cut potatoes in half along the wide edge so the yielded halves are long and shallow. Hold the potatoes in one hand with a towel (they will be hot), and use a firm spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/4" of potato flesh.
- Brush the insides of the potatoes with butter. Bake cup-side-up for 7 minutes. Flip and bake for 7 more minutes.
- Remove from oven to fill with cheese, and bake for 2-3 mins until melted. Remove from oven and top with chopped tomatoes and green onions. Serve with a scoop of creme fraîche on the side.
