If you have never tried twice baked potatoes, it’s high time to try them now! I know that everyone loves French fries or a good pan of cheesy scalloped potatoes, but these potatoes are number one in my book. My sister-in-law made them for us when she was visiting us recently, and I had my serving and asked for more. They are so delicious!!
Ingredients needed:
Russet potatoes unsalted butter sour cream heavy whipping cream salt and pepper cheddar cheese fresh chives
How do you make Twice Baked Potatoes?
Poke some holes into your Russet potatoes with a sharp knife, and bake until tender throughout. It should take about an hour or so in the oven at 400 degrees. When a knife can poke through the potato easily, they’re done. Remove them from the oven, and let them cool until they’re not too hot to touch. Cut each potato in half, scoop out the inside flesh and move it to a bowl.
Add butter, sour cream, heavy whipping cream and salt/pepper to the potato flesh in the bowl. Stir in some shredded cheddar cheese. Divide the mixture between the potatoes, filling them up again!
Sprinkle each potato with more cheddar cheese, and bake for about 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives, and serve!
What do you serve with Twice Baked Potatoes?
These potatoes are excellent with steak that’s hot off the grill, a good roast beef or roasted chicken. We’ve even served them with beef brisket. Leftovers are delicious. Just warm them up in the microwave and serve again. Add more cheese to spiff them up, if you’d like. Enjoy!
