Ingredients
- 4 large russet potato see cooking notes, cooked
For filling:
- 8 TBS butter softened
- ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 talks green onion chopped
For topping:
- ⅓ cup cheddar cheese or colby jack cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup Bacon optional, cooked, crumbled
- 2 talks green onion chopped
Notes
- Bake in oven: Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork, coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
- Microwave: Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork and place on a microwave safe dish. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip over and cook 5 more minutes.
- Air Fryer (see my method step by step here): Coat the potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place in air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Add additional minutes if not cooked through.
- Instant Pot (see my method step by step here): Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork, then add to the instant pot on a wire rack. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot. Cook on high/manual for 13 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 7 minutes. Release the rest of the pressure and remove.
- Follow the directions but do not add green onions to the filling (they will turn black and get watery when frozen).
- Instead of putting them into the oven for the second time, let them cook completely. Place into a freezer safe bag or container and then freeze up to 6 months.
- How to cook the twice baked potatoes from frozen: Remove the potatoes from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Once thawed, follow the directions from adding the toppings and then baking.
- Cook the whole potatoes:
