Bake Pillsbury biscuits according to package directions.
Meanwhile, pierce potatoes with a fork 3 or 4 times each and place on a microwave safe plate. Heat on 100% power for 5 minutes. Turn potatoes over and heat for 5 more minutes. Check potatoes by inserting a fork or butter knife. Potatoes should be tender and easily pierced. If necessary, continue heating at 2-minute intervals until done.
Remove plate of potatoes and allow them to cool on the counter for 5 minutes.
Carefully, potatoes will still be hot, scoop the potato out of the potato skins and place into a bowl.
Mash the potato with a fork and add butter, sour cream and salt and pepper. Mix together until creamy, add small amounts of milk as needed to create a creamy mashed potato consistency. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.
When biscuits are done remove from oven and increase oven temperature to the broiler setting.
Use a sharp knife to cut a circle in the top of each biscuit and remove. Gently flatten the inside of the biscuit with the back of a spoon.
Fill each biscuit bowl with the potato mixture. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of the cheese and place in the broiler for 2-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and garnish with green onions or chives.
