Stuffed Alfredo Potatoes

If your prepared alfredo sauce already has garlic in it, then omit the garlic powder. Prep time does not include baking the potatoes. This recipe may be doubled if desired. My Alfredo sauce #164953 works great with this recipe!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  large russet potatoes
• 3⁄4 cup  prepared alfredo sauce
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1  pinch dried thyme
• 1  large green onion, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 cup  old cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1⁄2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
•  salt and black pepper
• 1  cup  old shredded cheddar cheese (or to taste)

Directions

1. Bake the potatoes until fork-tender (about 1 hour) allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle.
2. In a bowl combine the alfredo, garlic powder (if using) salt and pepper and a pinch of dryed thyme.
3. Add in about 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and finely chopped green onion; mix to combine.
4. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice the two potatoes in half (making 4 halves).
5. Carefully scoop out the pulp from each half, then add to the alfredo/cheese mixture; mix until smooth.
6. Stuff the mixture evenly between the four halves.
7. Sprinkle the tops with grated cheddar cheese.
8. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until the cheese has melted (or place in the microwave).
