Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves minced garlic
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped green onion, divided
ground black pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked potatoes because they have a fluffy texture and a thin skin that crisps up nicely in the oven.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin of the potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes to cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Rub the potatoes with olive oil: This will help to keep the potatoes moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Top the potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, and chives.

Conclusion:
