While potatoes are hot, cut in half. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out centers into a large mixing bowl, making sure to leave enough of potato shell to be able to refill it later.
Mash potatoes, till smooth and lump free. Add butter, sour cream, half & half, salt and pepper. Spoon just a little into each potato skin.
Place one strip of Velveeta and one strip of cheddar cheese, making a criss-cross shape. Spoon a little more potato on top, add both cheeses again till potato is peaked, finishing with the criss-cross of cheeses on top.
Place potatoes in a large baking dish or pan, making sure potatoes stay in upright position.
Set oven to broil and return to oven for just a few minutes, just long enough to brown tops of potatoes
