Twice Baked Potatoes
Twice Baked Potatoes are baked russet potatoes scooped out and combined with butter, cooked bacon, sour cream, cheese, milk, and green onions, then baked again topped with cheese. The final result features creamy, rich potato filling with a balance of smoky bacon and tangy sour cream, all enclosed in a tender potato skin with a golden melted cheese topping.
