Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the potatoes for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Once done, allow them to cool slightly before handling.

-
Scoop and Mix: Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl, making sure to reserve the skins for the next step.
-
Blend Ingredients: To the scooped potato, add the cheese, skim milk, salt, and pepper. Beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy, adjusting the consistency with additional milk if needed.
-
Incorporate Veggies: Fold in the grated carrots and chopped green onions, ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.
-
Fill and Bake: Spoon the potato mixture back into the reserved potato shells. Place the filled boats on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are heated through and lightly golden on top.
