Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes (2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes to allow steam to escape. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes lengthwise into fourths; carefully scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shells. Save potato pulp for another use.
  • Step 
    2
    Set oven control to broil. Place potato shells, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Brush with butter.
  • Step 
    3
    Broil with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat about 5 minutes or until crisp and brown. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream and onions.
