Twice-Baked Potatoes

By cwyorkiex3

For extra-fluffy potatoes, after mashing them with a potato masher, Grandma would beat them with her electric mixer set at the lowest speed. Then she would stir in the other ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

Ingredients

• 6 large baking potatoes
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 teaspoons onion salt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
