Tips:
- For perfectly baked potatoes, choose medium-sized spuds that are free of blemishes and about the same size. This will ensure even cooking.
- To save time, you can bake the potatoes in advance. Once they are cool, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
- For a crispier skin, rub the potatoes with olive oil before baking. You can also sprinkle them with salt and pepper, or your favorite herbs and spices.
- To make the cheesy filling, use a good quality cheddar cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or chopped vegetables.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag to pipe the cheesy filling into the potatoes. Simply snip off the corner of the bag and fill it with the cheese mixture. Then, hold the bag over the potato and squeeze the cheese into the center.
- Serve the cheesy stuffed baked potatoes immediately, while they are hot and the cheese is melted.
