Cook on 400°F for 20 minutes three times, rotating the potatoes after each 20 minute cycle.

Add the insides of the potatoes to a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, sour cream, seasoning mix and half of the grated cheddar cheese. Add the mixture back to the hollowed-out potatoes and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
