Nacho-Style Baked Potatoes Recipe

• 4 (12-ounce; 340g) potatoes, preferably russets
• Canola, vegetable, or olive oil, for rubbing
• 1/3 cup sour cream (80ml), plus more for topping, if desired
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 cup
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 cups
• 1 cup
• 1/2 ripe Hass avocado, halved, pitted, flesh scooped from skin, and cubed

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F (190u0b0C). Using a fork or paring knife, puncture potatoes in several spots. Rub each potato with a light coating of oil. Arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet, or directly on an oven rack, and bake until a fork can easily be inserted into the center of each potato, about 1 hour. If setting potatoes directly on oven rack, set a sheet of foil on the rack below to catch any oil drips.
2. Preheat oven to 450u0b0F (230u0b0C). Using a fork or paring knife, puncture potatoes in several spots. Microwave potatoes for 5 minutes. Rub each potato with a light coat of oil. Arrange on a rack set on a baking sheet, or directly on an oven rack, and bake until a fork can easily be inserted into the center of each potato, about 20 minutes. If setting potatoes directly on oven rack, set a sheet of foil on the rack below to catch any oil drips.
3. Let potatoes rest 5 minutes. Slice each open lengthwise and carefully scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the potato flesh with the sour cream, cumin, and chili powder. Gently stir in the refried beans until well-combined.
4. Scoop mashed potatoes back into skins. (You can refill each skin, making 4 smaller potatoes, or use all the mashed potato to refill only half the skins, making 2 overstuffed potatoes.) Using your hands, reshape each stuffed potato back into a classic baked-potato shape. Pour over the cheese sauce, then top with pico de gallo, avocado, and sour cream, as desired. Serve immediately.
