Instructions
- Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and bake in the oven at 350 for 1 hour or until soft.

- Meanwhile, turn the oven up to broil.
- Squeeze half of garlic out and into a food processor, add cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Process the cheese mixture until well combined.
- Carefully divide the cheese mixture and spoon onto the potato wedges.
- Broil the potatoes on high 2 to 3 minutes or until a crust has formed. Remove the potatoes from the oven.
- In a small microwave safe dish, melt butter, chives, and spices. Drizzle the garlic butter over the potatoes. Serve and enjoy!
