Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. Gently scrub potatoes but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
- Bake 1 hour or until tender when pierced with fork. Cool slightly.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out inside of each half into medium bowl, leaving thin potato shell on each. Set shells aside. Mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add cream cheese, butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk, the salt and pepper; stir or beat until smooth and fluffy. If needed, add more milk. Stir in bacon, chopped chile and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture; place on ungreased sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese and arrange a few chile rings on top of each half.
- Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

Tips:
Choose the right potatoes. Russets are the best choice for twice-baked potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and creamy when baked. Bake the potatoes until they are fork-tender. This will ensure that they are cooked through and easy to scoop out. Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them. This will help prevent them from breaking apart. Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out the potato flesh. Be careful not to scoop too close to the skin, or the potatoes will break apart. Mash the potato flesh with butter, milk, and seasonings. You can also add cheese, bacon, or other toppings. Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Be sure to pack it in tightly so that the potatoes hold their shape. Bake the potatoes again until they are heated through. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Serve the potatoes immediately. They can be garnished with sour cream, chives, or bacon bits.
Conclusion:
Twice-baked jalapeño potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a little planning, you can enjoy this tasty dish any time you want.
