2 teaspoons baking powder (make sure your baking powder is fresh! no more than 6 months old or you may not get a good rise)
7 tablespoons butter, cold
2 scallions, finely chopped
3 oz. grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk
Kosher or Black salt for topping
Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, cayenne, black pepper, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Dice the butter into small pieces. If they get too warm, then place them in a bowl and put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before continuing. Toss the diced butter with the flour mixture until well coated. (Again, if into tossing the butter gets hot in your hands place the whole mixture in the freezer for a few minutes.) Add the scallions and cheese and toss until well coated.
Add the buttermilk and mix with your hands until it just comes together. You may find you need an extra dribble of buttermilk, if so then go right ahead but do so judiciously. Do not over-knead. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice; no more. Form into an 8×8-inch square and cut into 2×2-inch squares and top with a bit of high-quality salt if using. Bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Prick top of each potato a few times with a fork, and bake until easily pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, cut off top one quarter of each potato, slicing lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop flesh into a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch border all around. Set shells aside. Mash flesh with a fork until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until combined.
Refill shells with potato mixture. Cook until potato is soft and filling is lightly browned on top, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven; serve immediately.
