Ingredients
- 3 large baking potatoes
- 3/4 cup dairy sour cream
- 1 tablespoon grated onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese -or-
- 1/3 cup crumbled Blue cheese

Preparation
Step 1
Bake potatoes 1 hour at 400°F. Increase temperature to 450°F. Cut top 1/3 of potato; scoop out potato; brush shells with melted butter and bake until browned.
In a mixing bowl whip potatoes; add sour cream, onion, salt and pepper; beat until fluffy. (Potatoes may be slightly more moist than usual.) Fold in cheese. Divide into shells. Return to oven 12-15 minutes or until hot and lightly browned. (Caution: Remove from oven and serve immediately.)
Cooks Note: Potato shells may be stuffed, placed on tray in freezer to harden, then wrapped in moisture-vapor-proof wrapping. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven, 45-55 minutes.
