Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush with the olive oil. Roast, uncovered, until tender, 40-45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.

2. Halve the potatoes; using a melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl. Return the potato skins to the baking sheet. Coarsely mash the potato flesh in the bowl and stir in the cheese, sour cream, 1 tsp. salt and the pepper. Sprinkle the insides of the skins with the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt; stuff each with the potato-cheese mixture and sprinkle paprka on top.

3. Bake the stuffed potato skins until golden-brown, 15-20 minutes.
