4 large Russet potatoes Ideal for baking due to their fluffy texture.
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese Adds a rich, cheesy flavor that melts beautifully.
1/2 cup Sour cream Brings creaminess and a slight tang to the filling.
1/4 cup Milk Helps to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
1/4 cup Green onions, chopped Adds a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color.
2 tablespoons Olive oil Helps to crisp the potato skins and adds flavor.
1 teaspoon Garlic powder Gives a savory depth to the filling.
Salt to taste Salt Enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Pepper to taste Pepper Enhances the overall flavor of the dish.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, then pat them dry.
Prick each potato several times with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack.
Bake the potatoes for about 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer in the skins.
In the mixing bowl, add cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the creamy potato mixture back into each potato skin, mounding it slightly on top.
Place the filled potatoes back on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
