Twice Baked Potatoes
Description
Twice Baked Potatoes begin by baking small russet potatoes until soft. After slicing each lengthwise, the flesh is scooped out, leaving a thin shell. The potato flesh is mashed with sour cream, butter, garlic salt, and milk to reach a creamy consistency. Chopped cooked bacon, sliced green onions, and most of the shredded cheddar cheese are folded in, creating a rich and flavorful filling.
The filling is spooned back into the skins, which are then topped with the remaining cheddar. Baking the stuffed potatoes melts the cheese topping and warms the filling through. This process gives a contrast between the tender, creamy interior and the crisp potato skin. The potatoes balance smoky bacon, creamy dairy, and mild garlic seasoning.
These twice baked potatoes make a satisfying side dish for meats or salads, or a standalone snack or light meal. They can be prepared ahead and reheated by baking until warmed to retain their texture and melty cheese topping.
