  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions:

  1. Prep potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle lightly with salt, and prick all over with a fork. Bake directly on the rack for 50–60 minutes until tender when pierced.
  2. Hollow & mix: Let cool slightly, then slice off the top 1/3 of each potato. Scoop flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Mash with sour cream, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, parsley, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, garlic, and remaining 1 tbsp olive oil until fluffy.
  3. Stuff & bake: Spoon filling back into shells, mounding slightly. Return to the oven for 15–20 minutes until tops are golden. Serve warm.

The sun-dried tomatoes and feta add a salty-sweet punch, while the double bake ensures the edges stay irresistibly crisp. Tip: For extra color, top with a sprinkle of paprika before the second bake.
