Use Russet Potatoes
ADVERTISEMENT
Russet potatoes work best because they have sturdy skins and fluffy interiors.
Don’t Over-Scoop
Leave a small border of potato inside the skin to prevent tearing.
Make Ahead Option
You can prepare the filling and bake the potatoes ahead of time. Assemble everything and refrigerate until ready to bake.
