Ingredients

4 large potatoes
1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1/4 shredded cheese (Parmesan is good, but whatever kind you like)
1 cup sour cream (use fat-free if you like)

Instructions

Bake 2 lbs. (about 4 large potatoes) of potatoes in the usual manner.

When the potatoes have been baked, remove from oven, and cut a thin slice from top of each potato; scoop out inside, leaving a thin shell.

Mash potatoes until no lumps remain. Add 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk in small amounts, beating after each addition. (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on the kind of potatoes.) Add 1/4 cup soft butter or margarine, 1/2 teaspoon salt, dash pepper 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese and 1 cup dairy sour cream; beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy.

Fill potato shells with mashed potatoes. If desired, sprinkle with finely shredded cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until filling is golden.
