Ingredients

  • 2 -3 large baking potatoes
  • 1/4 cup butter, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon spicy mustard
  • 1 -2 tablespoon grated horseradish (from a jar)
  • 2 -4 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbles
  • milk
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced very thinly and caramelized

Method

  • Wash, dry, and bake potatoes for at least one hour at 350 degrees. You want the potatoes to be soft all the way through so they will be easy to scrape.
  • Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients except milk and onions in a large bowl.
  • Once potatoes are baked, cut in half lengthwise and scrape the piping hot innards into the bowl of goodness.
  • Use a potato masher and enough milk to make a creamy, smooth consistency.
  • Fill potato skins with the creamy potato mixture**, dot the top with the remaining 1 TBS butter, and bake for 20 minutes (or until really hot and slightly golden on top).
  • Top the potatoes with caramelized onions and serve!
  • **At this point, you may freeze the potatoes on a baking sheet, then wrap individually and stack in your freezer. Just remove from freezer and bake at 350 degrees until golden brown (about 45 minutes).
