Two-Tone Baked Potatoes

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub russet and sweet potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place in foil-lined 15x10x1-in. pans; bake until tender, 60-70 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°.

2 . Stage

When cool enough to handle, cut a third off the top of each russet potato (discard top or save for another use). Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/2-in.-thick shells. In a bowl, mash pulp, adding 1/3 cup sour cream, milk, cheese, 2 tablespoons chives and 3/4 teaspoon salt.

3 . Stage

Cut a thin slice off the top of each sweet potato; discard slice. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/2-in.-thick shells. Mash pulp with remaining sour cream, chives and salt.

4 . Stage

Spoon russet potato mixture into half of each russet and sweet potato skin. Spoon sweet potato mixture into other half. Return to pans. Bake until heated through, 15-20 minutes.
