Twice baked potatoes. I could eat them twice…..or more.

Twice Baked Potatoes

When my family asks, “What is for dinner?”, and they hear that one of the items is “twice baked potatoes”, there are cheers all around.

Sometimes potatoes are boring. This is the way to jazz them up.

Not only are they great for dinner, but they make a great lunch the next day.

These potatoes go wonderfully with beef. But they sure dress up pork and chicken too.

Easy to make and tastes great. That is a home run in my book.

PS: The Piéce de résistance is when I take the time to cook and chop up bacon to add to the potato mixture.

Twice baked potatoes are a great side dish with beef or pork. You can really put whatever you want into the potato skins. I always make extra because they are great leftover. Not as creamy as the first night but still delicious. Add some cooked chicken or beef and you have a great lunch.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 baking potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons roasted garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350°
  • Place baking potatoes on a cookie sheet and place on middle rack of oven. Bake until done. Depending on the size it should take around an hour.
  • When potatoes are done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for about five minutes.
  • Cut each potato in half and scoop most of the flesh into a bowl. I like to leave a little flesh on the skin, it helps them keep their shape.
  • To the potato in the bowl add the butter, sour cream , salt, pepper, roasted garlic and most of the cheddar cheese. With an electric mixer, mix until combined.
  • Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, top with the leftover cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
  • Put back in the oven until warmed through and you are ready to serve them.
