Twice Baked Potatoes
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.
