I started Googling some recipes for Twice Baked Potatoes and some of them were really complicated, so I just simplified it a bit and pretty much you can throw anything you want into these bad boys. There's some wiggle room for how you like your taters. Whatever floats your boat.
Recipe for Twice Baked Potatoes, when you're cooking for yourself.
Scrub clean and dry 4 large potatoes.
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Insert potatoes and cook for 30 minutes.
Take out potatoes, poke holes with fork, then put them back in for another 20-30 minutes.
Take out potatoes again. Slice potatoes in half (or whatever. I cut off the tops, just enough to do the next part--) and scoop out potato insides into large bowl. Make sure you leave enough in there to keep the skins' shape.Mash up with the potato to give it nice, smooth texture:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Scoop up the mashed potato mix back into the empty skins, bake for another 20 minutes.
You can sprinkle on shredded cheese, bacon bits, green onions--whatever you love on your potato. Since this makes 4, eat one and then put the others into Ziploc baggies and refrigerate. You can reheat for other meals in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.
So delish! Enjoy!
