Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for topping
2 cups grated white cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:
