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.

GRANDMA'S TWICE BAKED POTATOES



Grandma's Twice Baked Potatoes image

My grandma always made these anytime we were together. Everyone loves these potatoes and I like to serve them with a tossed green salad. I always bake extra so that I can have one for lunch.

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large baking potatoes
3/4 c sour cream
2 Tbsp chives, dried
1/2 stick butter
1 medium onion, diced
seasoning salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sour cream and chives together and set aside.
  • 2. Bake potatoes in 400 oven for 1 hour, or until done. Remove from oven and cut open potatoes (do not cut potato shells completely in two) and scoop out insides into large bowl. Place 4 empty shells on baking sheet; discard the 5th shell.
  • 3. Add sour cream/chive mixture, butter, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add 1 cup of the cheese; mix.
  • 4. Refill 4 of the potato shells - heaping the potato mixture inside shells. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top of filling.
  • 5. Place in oven for 5 to 10 minutes to reheat filling and melt cheese on top.
  • 6. NOTE: You can prepare as many twice baked potatoes as you desire - just adjust the other ingredient amounts to suit your taste. Always bake an extra potato so that you have enough filling to fill the shells to heaping. You can also bake several regular sized potatoes in place of an extra baking potato. Choose large, well rounded potatoes. ENJOY!

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 for Making the Best Twice-Baked Potatoes:

  • 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 until they are fork-tender. This will ensure that they are cooked through but not overcooked.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. This will make it easier to handle the potatoes and prevent them from breaking.
  • Mash the potato flesh until it is smooth and creamy. Be sure to remove any lumps.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the mashed potatoes. Common fillings include cheese, bacon, chives, and sour cream.
  • Re-stuff the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Make sure to mound the filling so that it is slightly higher than the potato skin.
  • Bake the potatoes again until the filling is heated through and the potato skins are crispy.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can make twice-baked potatoes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
