4. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes.
5. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
6. In a large bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh with 1/2 cup sour cream.
7. Gradually add 1/2 cup of warm milk, mixing until smooth and creamy.
8. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
