(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
3 large baking potatoes (1 lb. each) 
1 1/2 tsp. canola oil, optional
1/2 c. sliced green onions
1/2 c. butter, cubed, divided
1/2 c. half-and-half cream
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
Paprika

Directions:
Scrub and pierce potatoes.  Rub with oil if desired.  Bake at 400 degrees for 50-75 minutes or until tender.  When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise.  Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell; set aside.

In a small skillet, saute onions in 1/4 c. butter until tender.  In a large bowl, mash potato pulp.  Stir in onion mixture, cream, sour cream, salt and pepper.  Fold in cheese.  Stuff into potato shells.

Place on baking sheet.  Melt remaining butter; drizzle over potatoes.  Sprinkle with paprika.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.
