  • Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher: Be sure to leave some lumps for texture.
  • Season the mashed potato mixture with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings: You can also add cheese, sour cream, or butter.
  • Stuff the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture: Be sure to pack the mixture in tightly.
  • Top the stuffed potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives.
