Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).

Step 2

Rub the potatoes on all sides with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet for 1 hour, turning them over at 30 minutes to bake evenly.

Step 3

Allow the potatoes to cool. Then slice each one in half and remove the flesh with a melon baller, being careful to leave a ¼ inch border of potato around the edge which will give the shell support. Place the flesh in a bowl and place the shells back on the baking tray.

Step 4

To the potato-flesh add 8 tbsp. of softened butter, whip potatoes until butter is incorporated and melted. Then add the sour cream, and then add the milk. Season with salt, pepper, and chives. Then stir in the Swiss cheese.

Step 5

Transfer the potato mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe 3 decorative swirls in the potato shells. Add 1 tbsp. of the cheddar cheese on top. Place uncovered in the fridge on the baking tray until ready to heat and serve.

Step 6

To-Reheat the twice-baked potatoes, place them in a 350F for 20 minutes or until potatoes are warmed through and cheese is melted. Then pop under the broiler for a few seconds to gently brown and bubble the cheese.

Step 7

Transfer potatoes to a plate and garnish with more chives.
