How to Make The Big Potato
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the potato flesh from each half, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Set shells aside.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, green pepper, and onion.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and sausage is browned.
- In a large bowl, mash the scooped potato pulp until smooth.
- Stir in sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the cooked sausage mixture, cheese, and chives to the mashed potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
- Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the prepared potato shells, mounding slightly.
- Place the filled potato shells on a large baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
