What's so nifty about twice-baked potatoes besides the great taste? You can prep them ahead, and they're ready to pop in the oven at the last minute.

Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large baking potatoes (8 to 10 oz each)
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup basil pesto
1/3 cup julienne sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil and herbs, drained
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives, well drained
1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Chopped fresh basil or parsley, if desired
Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with fork. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each potato lengthwise in half; scoop out insides into medium bowl, leaving a thin shell. Add milk to potatoes; mash with potato masher or electric mixer until no lumps remain (amount of milk needed will vary depending on type of potato used). Stir in pesto, tomatoes, olives and 1/2 cup cheese. Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake about 20 minutes or until hot. Sprinkle with basil and additional cheese.

This recipe was a disaster! The potatoes were undercooked and the filling was bland.
