Here’s a simple, comforting recipe for creamy baked potatoes—crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside 🥔🧀
🥔 Creamy Baked Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 medium Potatoes
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Butter
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite)
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 cloves garlic (minced, optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped Parsley for garnish
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork several times
2. Bake Whole Potatoes
- Place on baking sheet
- Bake 45–60 minutes until tender (test with a fork)
3. Make Creamy Filling
- Slice baked potatoes in half lengthwise
- Scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl
- Mash with butter, sour cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper
- Stir in half the shredded cheese
4. Stuff & Top
- Spoon creamy mixture back into potato skins
- Top with remaining cheese
5. Final Bake
- Return to oven for 10–15 minutes until cheese melts and tops are golden
6. Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley
- Optional: sprinkle crispy bacon bits for extra flavor
🔥 Tips
- Use Russet potatoes for fluffiest texture
- Avoid overfilling—mixture should stay creamy inside the skin
- For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream or cream cheese
If you want, I can also share a low-calorie version that keeps it creamy without all the butter and cheese.
