Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Baked Potatoes There’s nothing better than a crispy baked potato loaded with creamy, cheesy goodness—and these Cheesy Garlic Stuffed Baked Potatoes take it to the next level. Fluffy on the inside, golden on the outside, and packed with rich garlic flavor, they’re the ultimate comfort side (or even a main dish if you’re feeling indulgent). Ingredients 4 large russet potatoes 2 tbsp olive oil Salt (for rubbing skins) For the Filling: 2 tbsp butter 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup sour cream ½ cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese Salt and pepper to taste Optional Toppings: Chopped green onions Crispy bacon bits Extra cheese Instructions Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry potatoes, then rub with olive oil and salt. Bake directly on the rack for 50–60 minutes until skins are crispy and insides are tender. Let cool slightly, then slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a bowl. In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add to the potato flesh. Mix in sour cream, milk, cheddar, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins. Return to oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes until hot and slightly golden on top.
