Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub and wash potatoes very well using a vegetable brush. Dry with a paper towel and rub with oil. Bake potatoes in oven for about an hour, or until fork tender. Allow potatoes to cool until they can be handled but are still hot; about 10 minutes.
Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise.(You may need a clean dish towel or mitts to handle the potatoes.) Using a spoon, scoop out as much of the potato pulp as you can, leaving the side walls intact. Place potato shells on a cookie sheet.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mash the potato pulp using a potato masher, adding butter, salt and pepper, garlic powder, milk, and half the cheddar cheese(save a little cheese for the top). Taste and adjust seasonings.
Restuff the potato shells with the mashed potato mixture and top with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake in a 350 oven for 30 more minutes. These are great when you have unexpected company and only a few potatoes.
