Remove potatoes from oven and cut horizontal slice off top third of each potato. Scoop pulp from potatoes into bowl, leaving shells about 1/4-inch thick. Scoop pulp from tops of potatoes and add to bowl.

Process potato pulp through potato ricer. Stir in milk. Add cabbage and leeks. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon potato mixture into 4 shells, dividing evenly.

Brush tops of potatoes with melted butter, then sprinkle with dash paprika and bake at 425 degrees until tops are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with chives.
