EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Baking potatoes have low moisture and high starch content. Known as russet or Idaho potatoes, they are characterized by their long, slightly rounded shape and rough brown skin.

If you can't find chive-and-onion sour cream potato topper, plain sour cream will do.

I made these potatoes tonight and they were a hit! I was looking for something every1 would like, I was kinda skeptical at first because I have a very picky bunch, but they all loved it & its easy! I put a little shredded cheese in the skins before I stuffed them, and sprinkled a little on top as well, I put them in the oven for about 5 min, and they were delish! :)
