Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes
  • ¾ cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 6 ounce tuna canned, drained
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.  
  • Scrub and pierce the potatoes in several places with a fork.  Place in the oven and bake for about an hour. 
  • Remove from the oven and cut in half lengthwise.  Scoop out the flesh, leaving enough on the skin for the potato to hold it's shape. 
  • Put the potato flesh in a bowl and add ½ cup of the cheese, the milk, the tuna, sour cream and green onions.   Mash it all together. 
  • Mound the potato mixture back into the potato and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. 
  • Put them back on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. 

Notes

Variations - you can also add roasted red peppers, olives, or capers to the potato mixture.  A diced jalapeño pepper adds a little heat.
