Ingredients

Directions

  1. Scrub the potatoes, then dry them and pierce each one with a fork.
  2. Bake the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for about an hour on a rack without foil until they are tender.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent.
  4. Once the potatoes are done baking, halve them lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the potato pulp while leaving the potato shells intact.
  5. Mash the potato pulp in a mixing bowl and add the M-K Cayenne Red Pepper, M-K Granulated Black Pepper, salt, sautéed onion, and shredded sharp cheese.
  6. Beat in enough milk to create a fluffy mashed potato consistency.
  7. Fill 6 to 8 of the potato shells with the mashed potato mixture, piling it high.
  8. Score the tops of the stuffed potatoes with a fork.
  9. Bake the stuffed potatoes in the oven until the tops are lightly browned.
