½cup(optional) cheddar cheese to top before baking

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Clean potatoes and pierce each one with a fork 1-2 times. Wrap in tinfoil and bake on a baking sheet for 45-50 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife. Cool to room temperature or refrigerate ahead.
Slice in half lengthwise and scoop the middles of potatoes carefully out with a spoon and place the potato skins on a baking sheet, reserving the potato middles separately in a mixing bowl. Mash the potato fillings with a fork or potato masher until no large chunks remain.
To the potato filling add the cottage cheese, sour cream, boursin cheese, cheddar cheese, melted butter, garlic and onion powders, and salt & pepper. Mix well.
Fill potato skins with the filling carefully using a large spoon. Depending on the size of the potatoes, you'll need ¼ cup to ½ cup of filling per potato.Add more shredded cheddar cheese to tops of potatoes if desired.
Bake at 375° F for 15-20 minutes until warm through and cheese is melted. Top with chopped green onions and/or as many bacon crumbles as your heart desires!
