SPINACH TWICE BAKED POTATOES
I developed this recipe to lure my kids into eating spinach. It worked! Spinach in almost any form is one of their favorite veggies. Big "kids" enjoy these rich, filling potatoes as well, and I often make them for dinner parties. I haven't tried freezing them, but I imagine you could make a batch and stick them in the freezer to keep for another day.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for twice-baked potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and light.
- Bake the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be baked until they are fork-tender. This will ensure that they are cooked through and will hold their shape when they are mashed.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your twice-baked potatoes. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or try a different type of cheese, such as Gruyère or Parmesan, for a more unique flavor.
- Add some mix-ins: Feel free to add some other ingredients to your twice-baked potatoes, such as bacon, cooked ground beef, or diced vegetables. This will add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
- Don't overfill the potato skins: When you are filling the potato skins, be careful not to overfill them. The filling should be mounded slightly, but it should not be overflowing.
Conclusion:
Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best twice-baked potatoes that your family and friends will love.
