Twice Baked Potatoes

(Oma J.)

4 medium baking potatoes
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons butter
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon chives
⅛ teaspoon pepper paprika

Bake potatoes in microwave on high for 18 to 20 minutes until done, or in oven at 350˚ about 1 hour 45 minutes (check to see if done by inserting knife, it should go in easy).

Place the butter and cream cheese in bowl. Slice off top length wise of each potato and scoop out insides carefully trying not to tear potato skin. Place the hot potatoes in bowl to help cream cheese and butter soften and melt. Add sour cream, onion salt, chives, and pepper. Mix well.

Spoon back into potato skins. Garnish with paprika. Reheat in microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, or in oven until nice and hot in centers. May refrigerate until ready to reheat.
