Marbled Stuffed Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the russet and sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake 30 minutes.
- Pierce each potato a few times with a fork and continue to bake until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes for the sweet potato and 20 to 25 more minutes for the russet potatoes.
- Let cool slightly.
- Peel the sweet potato.
- Transfer to a bowl and mash lightly with a fork until almost smooth.
- Trim a thin slice off the top of each russet potato, cutting lengthwise.
- Scoop most of the flesh into another bowl, leaving the shells intact.
- Add the sour cream and butter to the bowl and mash with a fork.
- Stir in the scallions, 1/2 cup cheese, the nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
- Gently fold in the sweet potato.
- Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Generously fill with the marbled potato mixture and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, 25 to 30 minutes.
