Ingredients for Baked It My Way Potatoes

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (per potato)

How to Make Baked It My Way Potatoes

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. Prick 2 large russet potatoes all over with a fork.
  3. Rub potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 6 minutes.
  5. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to steam and cook through.
  6. Preheat your oven to broil.
  7. Carefully slice the top off each potato, creating a lid.
  8. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving the skin intact.
  9. In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with 2 tablespoons sour cream and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  10. Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  11. Top each potato with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Broil in the preheated oven for 90 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
