Runn Tum Tuber Suprise

It should come as no surprise that I use some recipes from The Gamer's Fridge. They are really really great recipes. On there is a recipe for Runn Tum Tuber Surprise, I made it that way, but I wanted to enhance that recipe further.

Pulled from the dirt!

4 medium baking potatoes
1 c of colby jack and mozzarella blended cheese, divided
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1/2 c milk
1/4 sour cream

Preheat oven to 325ºF

In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper and olive oil and brush that on to the unpeeled potatoes. Poke small holes in skin. Place on middle rack for about an hour.

Remove potatoes, let cool about 15 minutes before handling and use ovenmit to handle. Taking a sharp knife, cut a portion of the top off. Spoon the flesh into a bowl. Leaving 1/4 inch for stability.

Add butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Mashing as you go. Add salt and pepper to taste as well as hot sauce. At this point you also want to add the hot sauce, you can add more if you like a kick or less if you don't. Mix until potato is orange.

Take half of the cheese and spoon about a tablespoon into each shell. Then add the mashed part back into the shell. Top with the rest of the cheese. Place back into oven for 15 minutes or until slightly golden brown on top.

Remove from oven and carefully serve.
