Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes, then slice them in half and scoop out the insides, leaving a small border.
Mash the scooped potato with sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and, reserving some cheese for topping.
Spoon the mashed mixture back into the skins and top with remaining cheese.
Bake the stuffed potatoes at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes or until cheese melts.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired
You can make these potatoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick reheat later.
