Categories     Christmas     feed a crowd     Thanksgiving     comfort food     side dish

Time 2h

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 lb. medium sized russet potatoes, scrubbed
12 oz. bacon
1 stick butter, melted
4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
1 c. warm milk
1/2 c. sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
8 oz. cheddar cheese
1/2 c. grated parmesan
1/4 c. chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prick each potato with a fork 3-4 times all over, then place on a sheet tray. Roast for 55 - 70 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pressed. Remove the potatoes from the oven and lower the temperature to 375 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, working in two batches, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes. Let the cooked bacon drain on a paper towel lined plate. Once cool, crumble or chop into small pieces.
  • Place the melted butter, cream cheese, warm milk, and sour cream in a large bowl. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise, and scrape the flesh out of the skins and into the bowl. Tear or chop up three of the potato skins and add them to the bowl. Mash everything together with a potato masher. Fold in ½ of the bacon, ½ of the cheddar cheese, parmesan, and ½ of the chives.
  • Grease a 3-quart casserole dish with butter. Transfer the potato mixture to the baking dish. Cover and bake for 35 minutes until the edges are bubbly. Top with the remaining bacon and cheese. Bake for 15-20 more minutes until warmed through and lightly golden on top. Let rest 10 minutes, then top with the remaining chives and serve.

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.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin of the potatoes.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes to bake evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender enough to easily insert a fork into the center.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly: This will make them easier to handle.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh around the edges.
  • Mash the potato flesh: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potato flesh until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Add the desired fillings: You can add a variety of fillings to your twice-baked potatoes, such as cheese, bacon, sour cream, or chives.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are heated through: The potatoes should be heated through and the filling should be melted and bubbling.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Garnish the twice-baked potatoes with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect twice-baked potatoes every time.
