Preparation
Step 1
Bake off the potatoes until a fork can go thru them easily. Usually about 45 minutes to an hour in the oven or about 30 minutes using the microwave. Once the potatoes have baked you will cut them in half and scoop out the inside leaving a shell.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, mix together the potato, the milk, the flavored cream cheese. salt, pepper and the butter until it looks like mashed potatoes. Then carefully mix in the one cup of cheddar cheese.
Step 3
Spoon the potato/cheese mixture into the potato boats until full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese over the tops of the filled potatoes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350* for about 35 minutes or so, just until the cheese on top is melted, depending on your oven.
I like to use a medium to sharp cheddar cheese with this recipe but you can use whatever cheddar you like. Each potato makes 2 halves or 2 servings, unless you are my family....lol...then it's one whole potato per person!
