Steps:
- So it's actually a really, really ridiculously easy recipe, but for the sake of the newbies out there that may be just now finding their way into the kitchen, I'm going to go the detailed route with the instructions. Essentially you bake the potatoes, whip the insides, saute the shrimp, season, combine, and stuff. your. face. Let's begin!
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Wash and scrub potatoes, pierce each a 4-6 times with a fork, and rub with olive oil.
- Sprinkle each spud generously with coarsely ground kosher salt and set atop a baking sheet on the middle rack of your oven or toaster oven.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until tender in the center with a crispy golden skin. Larger potatoes may need an extra 10-20 minutes bake time depending on your oven.
- Short on time? You can also microwave the baked potato and then finish it off in the toaster oven to crisp the skin. After cleaning and "forking," wrap each potato in a damp paper towel and microwave, together, for 8-11 minutes while your oven or toaster oven preheats to 350F. Rub with oil and top with salt and bake until skin is crispy, approx 10-15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, start the shrimp.
- Defrost if using frozen, or do the "I-skipped-a-step!" happy dance if using fresh.
- Saute your shrimp in a little bit of oil [about 1/2 tablespoon or so!], just enough so the shrimp glisten as they cook.
- While they simmer away, season with your choice of spices. I sprinkled mine with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and dried parsley along with a little bit o. Because I love the garlicky kick, I also added a few drops of sriracha chili sauce. Stir/flip with a spatula as you season to prevent them from sticking and to spread the herbs and spices to both sides of the shrimp. They will only need a few minutes to cook and are done when they turn peachy-pink and opaque.
- Once your potatoes are done baking, allow to cool a bit before slicing into the center. To maintain the shape, cut only halfway through the top portion of the potato, as pictured below.
- Now scoop out the center! Leave behind enough to maintain the shape of the potato, about 1/4 inch should do it. Add the insides to a bowl.
- Here's where you get to get creative with what you have on hand. The idea behind a twice baked potato is to fluff up the middle of the potato a-la-mashed potatoes without actually mashing a boatload of spuds. Add-in options for fluffing/whipping the potato can be anything you choose: greek yogurt or sour cream, veggie broth or chicken broth, even milk or coconut milk. Choose your favorites [I went with 1/4 cup veggie broth, 1/4 cup coconut milk, and about 1/2 cup of greek yogurt] and fluff away. You can use a fork to whip the potatoes or an electric beater, up to you!
- Stir in freshly chopped green onion, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a few cranks of freshly ground black pepper.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed [I have a heavy hand with the garlic and always add red pepper flakes and parsley to everything!] and gently spoon the whipped deliciousness into the potatoes.
- Top with an extra sprinkle of cheese [optional] and your tasty seasoned shrimp and return to the oven to bake for 10 minutes or so.
- Garnish with even more green onion [love them so!] and dig in while they're deliciously steamy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
- Rub the potatoes with vegetable oil and put them on a baking sheet. Bake the potatoes until tender, about 1 hour.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of bacon grease from the skillet.
- Cut the shrimp into thirds. Reheat the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Cook until the shrimp are opaque, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly (leave the oven on). Slice off the top third of each potato and carefully scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Scoop out the potato from the top third, and add that to the bowl, then discard the skin. Leave about 1/4-inch border of potato inside the skin. Mash the potato flesh with 1 teaspoon salt, the green onion, cheese, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and black pepper. Stuff the potato skins with the filling, mounding any extra on top. Divide the shrimp on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon. Return the potatoes to the oven on the baking sheet and bake them until heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onions and serve.

Steps:
- Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using the tines of a fork, prick the skins of the potatoes all over and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool until warm enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooling, in a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are golden and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes. Put the mixture into a medium bowl. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and, using a small spoon, scoop out all but 1/4-inch of the flesh. Add the potato flesh to the mushroom mixture. Add the butter, oregano, and 1 cup of the cheese. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Arrange the potato halves, cut side up on the baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of the potatoes with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season the inside with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the mushroom mixture into each potato half. Arrange 1 half-piece of prosciutto on top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto is crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
TWICE-BAKED POTATOES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Coat and rub the potatoes with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 1 hour until cooked through.
- In the meantime, cook the bacon on a griddle or sauté pan over medium high heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Season the shrimp with a little salt and lemon pepper. On the same griddle or pan that you cooked the bacon in, cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until pink. Set aside in a medium bowl.
- Cook the mushrooms in that same griddle or pan that the bacon and shrimp were cooked inches Sauté until tender and season with salt and pepper. Set aside in the bowl with the shrimp and poor the juices from the pan over the mushrooms and shrimp. Chop the bacon into bite size pieces.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool long enough to handle them, about 10-15 minutes. Lower the oven heat to 350. Using a sharp knife, cut the potatoes, length wise, in half. Place each half on a bigger baking sheet if needed to fit. With a spoon, scoop out the center of the potato in a large bowl, leaving about a 1/4 inch border along the skin. In the bowl with the potato, add the salt, pepper, seasoned salt, butter, sour cream, milk or cream, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Mash with a potato masher. Add the bacon, mushrooms, and shrimp to the potato mixture and stir to combine with a spoon.
- Spoon the filling into each potato halve. Top each potato with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through. Serve while hot.
- (Note: If you want to make these potatoes ahead of time, prepare them up to the point when you fill the potatoes. Do not top with the cheeses and cayenne pepper until right before baking. Cover them with aluminum foil and refrigerate up to 24 hours.).

Steps:
- Position racks in the middle and upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes and dry well. Bake directly on the middle oven rack until easily pierced with a knife, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven; let cool 5 minutes.

Mash the flesh with the butter, taleggio and parsley until just combined. Stir in the mascarpone, then the mushroom mixture. Brush the potato skins with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season the insides with salt and pepper. Set on a baking sheet.
- Mound the filling into the potato skins and sprinkle with the parmesan. Return to the oven on the top rack; bake until the filling starts browning and the skins are crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Season with salt.
