Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons of pepper providing a subtle yet distinct kick of spiciness to enhance the overall taste.
- 16 tablespoons 1 cup of butter or olive oil, offering a luscious and rich flavor to the potatoes.
- Salt enhancing the overall taste and bringing out the natural flavors of the potatoes.
- Cooking spray ensuring the potatoes don't stick to the pan and promoting even browning and crispiness.
- 4 tablespoons of sour cream lending a velvety and creamy texture to the potatoes, creating a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Seasoning salt such as Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt, adding a well-balanced blend of flavors, including saltiness and various herbs and spices, to season the potatoes perfectly.
- Foil used to wrap the potatoes, sealing in the moisture and ensuring even cooking, resulting in tender and fluffy interiors.
- 2 teaspoons of garlic infusing the dish with a delightful aromatic essence and adding a hint of pungency.
- 8 large potatoes washed and patted dry, providing a hearty and starchy base for the dish.
- 4 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese melting into a gooey and indulgent topping, adding a savory and slightly tangy note to the dish.
- Green onions adjust the amount to taste, offering a fresh and mild onion flavor, providing a pleasant contrast to the richness of the potatoes.
- Butter for topping enriching the potatoes with a smooth and buttery finish, adding depth and richness to each bite.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Use a fork and poke several holes into each potato. Spray with cooking spray, then sprinkle with pepper and salt. Wrap each potato in foil.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Unwrap each potato and cut it in half lengthwise.
- Preheat the broiler to high heat. Spread butter or olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle with seasoning salt. Place under the broiler for 5 minutes or until golden brown on top (watch carefully, so they don’t burn).
- Remove from the oven and top with cheese, sour cream, butter, and green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use large potatoes for best results.
- If you want to add additional flavor, consider adding paprika, onion powder, or chili powder to the top of the potatoes before broiling.
- Place a sheet pan under the baking sheet with the potatoes on it to catch any drips that may occur during cooking.
- You can also top the potatoes with bacon, chives, or sour cream for added flavor.
