How to Make Creamy Cheddar & Chive Oven-Baked Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Scrub them clean and pat dry.
  3. Pierce each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

  5. Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 45-60 minutes until tender.
  6. Mix the creamy cheese filling in a bowl and combine cream cheese, cheddar, chives, and garlic powder.
  7. Slice each baked potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
  8. Stuff the potato skins with the cheese mixture generously.
  9. Top with extra cheddar cheese if desired, and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
  10. Optional: Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
