Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Cut off and discard top third of garlic and wrap remainder in foil. Prick potatoes with a fork and bake with garlic on middle rack of oven 45 minutes. Remove garlic to cool and continue baking potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes more. (Leave oven on.)
Step 3
Squeeze garlic cloves into a bowl and discard skins. Stir in butter, sour cream, and 1 cup Cheddar. Cutting lengthwise, remove top fourth of each potato and discard. Leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells, scoop flesh out of potatoes and add to cheese mixture. Mash with a fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper and divide among shells.
Step 4
Arrange potatoes in a small baking pan and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar, then bake until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Back to TopThese potatoes are great! I didn't have cheddar cheese or sour cream, so I substituted with Colby and plain 2% Greek yogurt respectively. My boyfriend and I had these with sautéed mushrooms and spinach and a garden salad. They'd be a great accompaniment to a rib eye, too! Bon apetit!

Followed to the letter and was very pleased with the result. Looked as good as it tasted too. I will definitely make this again!

4 Forks ! My Husband & I both liked these very much, I do agree with the other reviewers that say more garlic is needed! I know it sounds strange that one whole head isn't enough but roasting the garlic really mellows it and it's not overpowering in the least. Next time I would use two whole heads of roasted garlic. Make sure you use enough salt & pepper. My only complaint is that the cheese 'on top' melted all down the sides and on to the cookie sheet. The cheese on the cookie sheet crisped up nicely though & tasted great. I put chili pepper flakes on mine for some added heat. Hubby at his 'as is'. Nice that this can be made ahead of time. This is a keeper.

This is a good recipe which allows for a lot of experimentation. My 13 yr. old daughter had two friends stay for dinner at the last minute; I made these and added chopped sauteed mushrooms and onions, put in some tarragon, and used Monterey Jack that I had on hand. They all loved them. If I was not the only carnivore in my family, I'd definitely be adding some crumbled bacon!

Made these the other night.... WOW! My suggestion though is to put all of the ingredients into a mixer. Let the cheese, garlic, potatoes, and sour cream really combine together to make like a paste of sorts... Unbelievable taste... Roasting the garlic is the key here... Enjoy!

Very good and very easy. Great to make ahead of time for a dinner party. Added a couple dashes of hot sauce to the mix to add some heat and it turned out fine.

Yum. I only rated this 3 forks because I really didn't follow the recipie exactly. I roasted baby red potatoes, cut them in 1/2 and then made the filling with Danish bleu cheese. I put the filling through a food ricer so the middle was an elegant, soft and smooth burst of creamy bleu cheese and potatoe. I didn't have one piece left over with rave reviews from my guests. Soo good and elegant. My family would love the recipie as written too.

These were perhaps the very best stuffed spuds ever. I served a crowd of 12 and not a skin was left! I prepared them the night before and then let them sit out for about an hour before cooking for about 20 min. before serving. Absolutely fantastic!

Delicioso! I had three medium russet potatoes on hand and so added slightly less of all ingredients except the garlic. I still used one clove although I think 1 1/2 to 2 cloves would have been even better. Used Tillamook Sharp Cheddar and the results were great. It went beyond comfort food - the roasted garlic lifts the spirits and sharpens the senses! We had these with rotisserie chicken and broccoli. Will make again and again!

Yummy recipe. I thought a large potato would be too much for one person, but everyone ate their entire serving! I made these earlier in the day, refrigerated them and reheated them as the roast was resting. Do use all the garlic. This recipe is a keeper.

I LOVE these potatoes. I used a Tillamook vintage white medium chedder and it was fantastic. I made five potatoes and my husband was begging for more.

伟大的秘诀。烤garlic is key. I've made these several times and each time my teenage sons ask me to please "make more next time"!

We have NEVER tasted such great potatoes! We served these for Easter Dinner and they were a big hit. I misread the recipe and whipped them in the food processor and they were great, but some of them did not hold their shape when being baked, so next time I will try them just mashed a bit. But I also think my boo-boo has inspired me to make what will be, without a doubt, the best mashed potatoes I will ever have... the world of roasted garlic has been opened. We made a few extra potatoes and instead of baking them all for the second time (to eat right away), we froze a few that were at the "halfway point" and had them later in the week... and they were still great. I think I will have to make a big batch and freeze them individually so that we can have them whenever we want... they were sooooo good!
