Steps:
- Bake potatoes in a 375 degree oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours until done.
- When potatoes are done let them cool 10-15 minutes.
- Then slice them in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon carefully scoop out the potato, leaving a little on skin so they don't break. Save the skins.
- In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except 1/4 cup cheese, green onion and paprika with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. If not creamy enough add a bit more milk.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Spoon potato mixture evenly into shells.
- Top with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and green onions.
- Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
- Return to oven until hot and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.
- Or you can wrap in saran wrap and put in a freezer ziplock bag and freeze for use at another time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce the potatoes in a couple of places with a sharp knife; place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife easily slices through the potato, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool potatoes for 10 minutes.
- Slice potatoes horizontally; scoop out the flesh with a fork, leaving the skin intact. Mix potato flesh with spinach artichoke dip in a bowl; spoon back into the potato skins and top with Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven until cheese is beginning to melt, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn on oven's broiler and broil until cheese begin to bubble and brown, 2 to 5 minutes.

EASY TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES
Our take on the beloved mini-marshmallow-topped casserole calls for baking and mashing sweet potatoes, then returning them to their jackets and baking again with pecans and marshmallows. Everyone will adore having their own at Thanksgiving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork. Bake until soft, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack.
- Cut a lengthwise slit in potatoes almost all the way through, leaving about 1 inch at each end intact. Scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border on skins. Put flesh in a medium nonreactive bowl, then transfer half to a food processor. Process until smooth; return to bowl. Stir in sour cream, 6 tablespoons softened butter, 1 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Transfer sweet potato mixture in batches to a pastry bag fitted with a very large round tip. Pipe mixture into 12 of the potato shells, dividing evenly; discard remaining 2 shells. Filled shells can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Just before serving, top with remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar, the sliced butter, and pecans; arrange marshmallows on top. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until hot and marshmallows are golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes.
Tips:
- To save time, you can bake the potatoes in advance and refrigerate them for up to 3 days before assembling and baking them again.
- For a crispier skin, brush the potatoes with melted butter before baking them the second time.
- Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Some other delicious options include cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, or salsa.
- If you're using a piping bag to fill the potatoes, be sure to snip off the tip of the bag so that the filling can easily come out.
- Twice-baked potatoes can be served as a main course or a side dish. They're also great for potlucks and parties.
Conclusion:
These twice-baked potatoes are the perfect comfort food. They're creamy, cheesy, and oh-so-delicious. Plus, they're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give these twice-baked potatoes a try.
