Twice Baked Potatoes

I adore comfort meals and potatoes! The finest of both worlds may be found in these traditional twice baked potatoes. I’ve been producing these for a long time. They maintain their quality from thirty years ago. These Classic Twice Baked Potatoes are made with potatoes that have been blended with sour cream, milk, butter, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and the right amount of seasonings to make them creamy. Add bacon, scallions, chives, sauteed mushrooms and onions, or any of the above, for the perfect finishing touch.

Instructions

Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. After washing the potatoes, dry them, poke them with a fork twice or three times, and then rub them with oil and salt. Cover them and place them on a baking sheet. Bake potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are soft when squeezed gently. Allow them to cool enough to handle after being removed from the oven.
  2. Add the sour cream, butter, Monterey Jack, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large bowl. Scoop out the cooked potato by gently slicing it in half lengthwise, leaving a 1/3-inch shell all around. Blend the potatoes with the other ingredients in a bowl with a hand mixer until smooth. Add milk; Add a little at a time until the mixture is creamy, as the amount of milk may vary.
  3. Backfill the potato shells with the mixed potatoes. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees. Top with bacon and scallions after removing from the oven.

Notes

Twice Baked Potatoes

  • This recipe calls for russet potatoes best.
  • After washing, dry the potatoes by pricking them twice or three times, rubbing them with oil, and salting them. It imparts a delightful crispness to the outer shell.
  • Avoid wrapping the potatoes in aluminum foil. Put them in the oven by placing them on a baking sheet.
  • While you gather the ingredients for the stuffed potato mixture, place the empty shells back in the oven for an additional few minutes to crisp up.
  • Use cheese of high quality. It really does affect things. Explore different avenues regarding changing the cheeses around. Gruyere, Gouda, Fontina, and Muenster are a few of my favorite cheeses.
  • When the stuffed potatoes are returned to the oven, keep a close eye on them. A lot of the potato mixture will burn to the side if left in for too long.
  • You can garnish the potatoes however you like, but bacon and scallions are my favorites.
  • When putting cheese on top of the potatoes, use finely grated cheese because it melts more quickly and looks better.
