Twice baked potatoes are made almost entirely out of only my favorite ingredients: cheese, potatoes, sour cream, cheese. YUMMY! That's why when it comes to family gatherings it's my go-to dish to make. Not only is it fairly easy to make but I myself enjoy to eat it. Here's an easy seven-step recipe that's sure to satisfy your friends and family!
The BEST Twice Baked Potatoes ingredient list is as follows (serves eight):
4 Russet potatoes (you'll want these to be not too small and fairly round)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
1/4 cup shredded cheese (pick your favorite type of cheese, personally I buy the pack of Mexican blend)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Clean the potatoes. Then, place the potatoes on a baking sheet and place them in the oven for one hour or until soft.
3. Once the potatoes are soft, cut each one in half along the long side. Then, scoop out the insides of each half into a bowl leaving 1-2 in. of potato still attached to the skin.
4. Place the skins back in the over for 10 minutes at 325 degrees.
5. While the skins are in the oven take the bowl of potatoes, and add the sour cream, green onions, and shredded cheese all together. And a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
6. After removing the skins from the oven, preheat it to 350 degrees.
7. When the skins are done fill them with the mixture you have created. Then place it all back in the oven for 15-30 minutes or until slightly golden at the top.
And voila! You now have a hit at your next party!
TIP: For larger events or if I know I'll be busy the next day I usually do steps 1-5 the night before and then refrigerate them until right before the event when I do the final two steps.
