Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 small shallot finely diced
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1½ cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the dish
- 2 tablespoons chives chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°℉ (200℃). Prick the potatoes with a fork several times and bake directly on the oven rack for about an hour, or until they're cooked through and the skins are crispy. Allow them to cool completely.
- Once the potatoes have cooled, grate them (with the skin on) into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the diced shallot, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve a small amount for the topping), sour cream, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
- Lower your oven temperature to 350℉ (175℃). Butter a baking dish and add the potato mixture. Spread it out evenly, then top with the reserved cheese. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top before serving.

Notes
- Potato Choice: Russet potatoes are ideal for their fluffy texture. If they aren't available, Yukon Gold potatoes can be a good substitute.
- Cooling Time: Allow the baked potatoes to cool completely before grating. This helps maintain their texture and makes them easier to handle.
- Cheese Choice: Sharp cheddar cheese adds a rich, tangy flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like Gruyère or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for varied flavors.
- Seasoning: Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste. Remember, the cheese already adds some saltiness.
