Recipe Notes

• Sour Cream: If desired, you can use plain Greek yogurt as a substitute.
• Cheddar Cheese: Not a fan? Use your favorite flavor of cheese instead. An easy melting variety will work best.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten in a week.
• Freezing? Yes! Prepare the potatoes and fill them. Do not bake them a second time! Store them in a freezer safe container. Bake when ready.
• Topping Ideas: Cooked bacon bits, green onions, additional sour cream, or additional cheddar cheese.

Do I Have to Bake The Potatoes in the Oven?

Honestly, no. If you want to cut back your time, pop them in the air fryer or microwave them for a bit before baking them in the oven.  You do want a crispy potato skin, so, avoid cooking them completely in the microwave.
