It's nice to bake one extra potato so they can be extra-stuffed, and as insurance against breaking one of the shells.
| Ingredients | Step |
|---|---|
| Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. | |
| 4 baking potatoes, scrubbed | Bake until tender -- ideally in oven so the skins firm up, but microwave is fine too. If in microwave and they are normal sized, stab all over with a fork then microwave it for 5 minutes, flip, and 5 minutes more. |
| ½ c. milk 1 t. Dijon ¾ c. cheddar, grated ½ t. salt ¼ t. pepper |
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh. Mash it all together. Maybe whip until light & fluffy. Spoon into reserved skins. |
| ¼ c. cheddar, grated | Sprinkle. |
| Bake another 10 minutes at 400 degrees, to brown the tops. |
