Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large russet potatoes, each about 3/4 pound each, scrubbed and dried
2 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup sour cream
1 scallion, finely chopped
Freshly grated nutmeg, optional
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes directly on the rack in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Pierce each potato in a couple spots with a fork and continue to bake until tender, about 30 minutes more. Remove potatoes from the oven, and turn the heat down to 375 degrees F.
  • Hold the potato with an oven-mit or towel, trim off the top of the potatoes to make a canoe-like shape. Reserve the tops. Carefully scoop out most of the potato into a bowl. Take care to leave enough potato in the skin so the shells stay together. Mash the potato lightly with fork along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the butter and sour cream. Stir in the scallion, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Season the skins with salt and pepper. Refill the shells with the potato mixture mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the potato filling. Brush the reserved top with the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Set the potatoes and lids on a baking sheet, and bake until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES



Twice-Baked Potatoes image

At its simplest, a twice-baked potato is creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes cradled in crisp, salty skin. That's the recipe you see here: comforting, satisfying and pretty much ideal. But if you dream of other flavor combinations, like bacon, scallions and sour cream; blue cheese and chives; or cauliflower and Parmesan, just follow the recipe below and stir in any additions (reserving some for garnish) after the dairy in Step 3. Shower the top with more grated cheese if you like, then bake, garnish and dig in.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and softened
4 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
Black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and middle of the oven, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke holes all over them with a fork. In a large bowl, toss them with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes directly on the top rack, and place a baking sheet or a piece of foil on the middle rack to catch drips. Bake for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  • Slice the top third lengthwise off the potatoes. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch border of potato on the skin, and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Scrape the potato tops of all flesh, and add the flesh to the bowl. Place the bottoms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Snack on the tops - chef's treat - or discard.)
  • Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, and stir until smooth (try not to overwork). Add the milk, sour cream and cheese and stir to combine. (If you want the filling softer, add more milk.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, if using.
  • Mound each potato skin with a quarter of the filling. Bake the potatoes until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Try this recipe for Ree Drummond's classic Twice-Baked Potatoes from Food Network.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 baking potatoes, washed
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 sticks salted butter
1 cup bacon bits (fry your own!)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Cheddar or Jack cheese (or a mix of both), plus more for topping
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3 green onions, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
  • Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
  • With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
  • Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
  • Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for twice-baked potatoes because they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be baked until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh: This will make it easier to scoop out the flesh without breaking the potato skins.
  • Mash the potato flesh until it is smooth: Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the potato flesh until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add your favorite toppings: You can add any toppings you like to your twice-baked potatoes. Some popular toppings include bacon, cheese, sour cream, and chives.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are heated through: Bake the potatoes until they are heated through and the toppings are melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With so many different topping options, there is sure to be a twice-baked potato recipe that everyone will love.
