How to Make Cheesy Baked Potato Parcels

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 4 large baking potatoes. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Carefully cut a lengthwise slit into each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  6. Gently fluff the inside of each potato with a fork.
  7. Spoon the cheese mixture into the slit of each potato.
  8. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
