Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium russet potatoes
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup sour cream
½ cup cubed processed cheese
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
garlic powder to taste
seasoned salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Poke potatoes with the tines of a fork, and place them in the microwave oven. The more holes, the better. Cook on high power for about 4 minutes per potato. Check about halfway through, and turn potatoes over for even cooking. Potatoes are done when they can be easily poked with a fork.
  • Remove potatoes from the microwave, and cut each one in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scoop out the inside of the potatoes, leaving the skins intact. Place the scoopings into a large microwave safe bowl, and stir in the 4 green onions, sour cream, processed cheese, and 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Season with garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Scoop the mixture back into the potato skins to serve, or serve from the bowl. Garnish with additional green onion and shredded cheese if desired.
