Ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 c gruyere chese, grated
• salt and white pepper to taste
• ground nutmeg, to taste
• 8 oz sour cream, plus more if needed
• 2 T chives, minced

Directions

1. Wash and Dry the Potatoes, then prick with a fork in a couple of places. Place them on the center rack of a 375 degree F oven. Bake for 30-40 mins, until done.

2. Cut each potato in half and scoop out pulp into a bowl, taking care not to break the skins. You’ll have 8 “boats”. Mash the potatoes and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the remaining ingredients. Add in the additional 2 oz of sour cream if necessary to make them fluffy. Add salt and white pepper to taste.

3. Using a spoon, fill the potatoes to level. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large tip with the remaining potato mixture. Swirl the remaining potato mix onto each “boat” in a decorative manner.

4. To serve: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. bake the boats about 25 minutes until heated through and golden brown on top. Serve warm
