Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1/4 c. margarine or butter, melted
  • 1/3 c. dairy sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. finely snipped fresh dill or 1 1/2 tsp. dried dill weed
  • 4 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt

  • paprika (optional)
  • dill sprigs (optional)
  • lemon wedges (optional)

Method

  • Scrub potatoes thoroughly with a brush.
  • Pat dry.
  • Prick potatoes with a fork.
  • Bake in a 425° oven for 40 to 60 minutes, or until tender.
  • Or, microcook, uncovered, on 100% power (High) for 14 to 17 minutes, or until almost tender, rearranging once. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Gently scoop out each potato half, leaving a thin shell (because potatoes are hot, you may want to hold the potato halves with a pot holder while scooping).
  • Place potato pulp in a large bowl.

  • With an electric mixer on low speed, beat until smooth.
