Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Slice the top off of each potato to make a canoe-like shape. Scoop the flesh out of each potato, leaving a thin wall (around ¼-inch) around the perimeter so the potatoes hold their shape. Place potato flesh (along with any that's left in the top piece of the skin that was sliced off) into a large bowl. Add butter, sour cream, ¼ cup of the cheese and 2 of the green onions. Season well with salt and pepper and smash it all together with a potato masher until well combined.
- Stuff the filling back into the potato skins. Pile a tablespoon of cheese on top of each potato and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika. Place back into the oven and bake until the cheese melts and starts to brown (about 15 minutes).
- Garnish with additional sour cream, green onion and salsa. Enjoy!
