Famous Twice-Baked Potatoes
Report
Creamy on the inside, crunchy breadcrumb topping on the outside- these are the BEST twice baked potatoes EVER! Plus, they're freezable if you assemble ahead of time or have leftovers. They're my late grandfather's famous family recipe.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Wash, scrub, and dry potatoes very well.
- Poke a few holes using a fork around all sides of the potatoes.
- Melt one tablespoon of butter and mix with salt and pepper to taste.
- Brush potatoes with the mixture and place on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack (alternatively, you can place them directly on the top oven rack with a baking sheet on the lower one to catch any drippings).
- Bake potatoes for 50 minutes in a 425 degree oven, or until soft and cooked (insert a paring knife to check softness).
- Meanwhile, add grated onion and 4 tablespoons butter to a microwave safe bowl or measuring glass. Microwave for one minute or until butter is melted.
- In another microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining three tablespoons of butter. Add the breadcrumbs (1 cup), paprika (1 teaspoon), 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and a little bit of salt and pepper.
- Allow potatoes to cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut potatoes in half and scoop the insides into a bowl. Don't scoop all the way to the outer peel- leave a little bit of potato for structural stability.
- Add the melted butter and onion mixture, heavy cream (1/2 cup), 1/4 cup chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix using an electric mixture until smooth.
- Add the potato mixture back into the potato skins evenly and smooth the tops.
- Top each potato evenly with the bread crumb mixture (stop here if making ahead of time).
- Place the potatoes back into the oven at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, or until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
