Ingredients:
1/4 to 1/2 c milk (if potatoes are too thick)
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 green onions, sliced

1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 218 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Use a fork to poke small holes all over the potatoes, then lay them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for about an hour or until fork-tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature. Cut each potato in half and remove the flesh. Put it into a large bowl.

Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9×13-inch casserole dish.

Cover it with foil entirely.
Reduce the heat of the oven to about 325 degrees F.
Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven, then garnish with more green onions.
Serve and enjoy!
