For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cooked bacon bits before the final bake.
Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked in the first bake; this will make scooping out the flesh much easier.
Warming the milk prevents the potatoes from cooling down too much during the mashing process, resulting in a smoother, creamier filling.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile.
