Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes and pierce them several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a thin shell of potato inside the skin.
- Mash the potato flesh with sour cream, 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese, and half of the chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Drizzle each potato with truffle oil and place them back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped chives and serve hot.
The history of Cheesy Baked Potatoes with a sprinkle of truffle oil can be traced back to the fusion of traditional baked potato recipes with the luxurious addition of truffle oil. Renowned chefs in regions like Italy and France began experimenting with truffle oil, infusing its rich, earthy flavor into classic dishes.

Today, this indulgent dish can be found in top-notch steakhouses and fine dining establishments, where the perfect balance of creamy cheese, fluffy potato, and aromatic truffle oil creates a truly unforgettable culinary experience.
