Twice Baked Sour Cream
& Chive Potatoes
Makes 4 servings
4 Idaho or russet potatoes, about 7-8 ounces each
1
⁄3 cup lowfat milk
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1
⁄2 cup sour cream or lowfat sour cream
1
⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
1
⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper (black or white)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
Prepare and bake potatoes as in preceding Baked Potatoes recipe, but do
not pinch open – just slit slightly with a knife to allow steam to vent. When
cool enough to handle, cut off top quarter of each potato and scoop out
cooked potato, leaving a
1
⁄4-inch-thick potato shell. Reserve cooked potato
and skin shells.
Preheat toaster oven to 375°F.
Place cooked potato in a medium bowl. Add milk and 1 tablespoon butter.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash/beat until smooth. Add sour
cream, salt, pepper, and chives. Mash/beat to combine completely.
Generously fill the potato shells with sour cream and chive potato mixture.
(Potatoes may be prepared a day ahead to this point – cover and
refrigerate.) Arrange potatoes on baking tray (can be lined with a sheet
of aluminum foil). Melt 1 teaspoon of butter and drizzle on potatoes. Bake
for 30 to 40 minutes (add 5 to 10 minutes to baking time if potatoes were
prepared ahead and refrigerated), until potatoes are hot and golden on the
tops. Sprinkle hot potatoes with remaining tablespoon of chopped chives
to serve.
