- 2 medium russet potatoes washed and dried
- 2 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup Asiago cheese plus 1 tablespoon shredded
- ¼ cup sour cream room temperature
- 2 tablespoons half-and-half room temperature
- 4 teaspoons fresh horseradish peeled & grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped, divided
- Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Poke potatoes all over with a fork. Place directly on center oven rack; bake 50 minutes until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Holding potatoes with an oven mitt or kitchen towel, slice off the top quarter (lengthwise) of each potato. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides into a large bowl, leaving the skins intact.
To the bowl, add 2 tablespoons butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher until butter is incorporated. Add 1/4 cup Asiago cheese, sour cream, half-and-half, 1 tablespoon horseradish, 1/2 tablespoon chives and salt and pepper to taste; stir to combine.
Spoon and mound the potato mixture back into the potato skins. Cut remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter into cubes and place on top of potatoes. Sprinkle tops with remaining 1 tablespoon of Asiago cheese and 1 teaspoon horseradish. Place on a baking sheet or in a baking pan.
Bake 20 minutes until warmed through and tops are golden brown. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon chopped chives just before serving.
