LOADED BAKED POTATOS

Its the season to splurge! Perfect time to have a baked potato loaded with sour cream, butter and cheese, right? I couldn't agree more! I love these potatoes as a side dish. Sometimes I add bacon crumbles to the top for my husband. He really loves these, too! 
LOADED BAKED POTATOES
-4 large russet potatoes
-6 tbs. of butter
-1/2 cup sour cream
-1 cup cheddar cheese-shredded
-Salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS:

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 375 DEGREES
  1. Scrub the potatoes clean. Pierce each one with a fork a few times.
  2. In a large plate-microwave the potatoes for 5 minutes on each side for a total of 10 minutes.
  3. Cut a long oval shape into the top of each potato. Be careful it will be very hot
  4. Let them cool for a few minutes. Once they're cool enough to handle, scoop the inside of the potato out into a large bowl. Try to scoop out as much as you can without piercing holes in the skin.
  5. Add the butter and sour cream. Liberally season with salt and pepper.
  6. Lightly rub some olive oil on the potato skins and sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
  7. Carefully spoon the potato mixture into the skins. Top with cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
