This is my personal recipe. I have never had anyone not dig in for seconds!!!
Bake 4 large baking potatoes at 400 deg for approx 1 hour or until full baked. As soon as potatoes are done remove from oven and cut in half length wise. Scoop potatoes out of skin into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tbls of butter, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, 4 heaping tbls of sour cream, 2 cloves of minced garlic. Mash with a potatoe masher. Then add 2 tbls of Mrs. Dash southwest seasoning, 1 tspn of Ancho Chili powder, salt, fresh ground peper (to taste). Take a hand mixer and mix until smooth. With a large spoon, spoon the potatoes back into the skins and set on a cookie sheet, once all eight skins are filled sprinle more chees on top. Put in a 350 deg oven for approx 30 more minutes. Then eat away.
I have never not seen people go back for a second including kids. This should feed 8, but normally only 4-5 people. For anyone concerned this is not at all spicey, just full flavored. If you are concerned just subtract 1 tablespoon of the Mrs. Dash seasoning.
Enjoy!!!!
