Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe


  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes until the skins are crispy and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2: Scoop Out the Potato Flesh

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes. Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the inside, leaving a thin border of potato attached to the skin to keep its structure.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Filling

Place the scooped-out potato flesh into a mixing bowl. Add butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.

Step 4: Refill the Potato Skins

Spoon the creamy filling back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly over the top. Sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.

Step 5: Bake Again

Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place the stuffed potatoes back onto the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
