Ingredients

Techniques
  • 4 whole russet potatoes
Scrub and dry the potatoes, set them on a foil lined baking sheet, drizzle a couple of drops of vegetable oil over and rub it in.
  • vegetable oil
Bake in a preheated 400F oven about an hour, until a paring knife goes in with almost no effort.
Cut the top off about two thirds of the way up with a paring knife and scoop out as much potato as possible, including from the cut-off top, without wrecking the skin.
  • butter
  • green onions
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt
  • cayenne pepper
  • white cheddar
While the potato is still hot, mix in the butter and minced green onions, then season with black pepper, salt and cayenne and fold in the cheddar.
  • cream
  • 1 whole egg yolk
Make a well, pour in the cream and the egg yolk and mix them in gradually so the yolk does not scramble; taste, especially for salt.
Set the cut-off top slice in the bottom of each potato for extra height, then divide the mixture between the four potatoes.
  • melted butter
  • paprika
Rough the surface up with the tip of a fork for nooks and crannies, paint with a little melted butter and dust with paprika.
Bake again about 20 minutes to half an hour, until gorgeous.
