Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
- Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
- Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
- Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Bake potatoes in a 375 degree oven 1 to 1 1/2 hours until done.
- When potatoes are done let them cool 10-15 minutes.
- Then slice them in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon carefully scoop out the potato, leaving a little on skin so they don't break. Save the skins.
- In a large bowl mix all the ingredients except 1/4 cup cheese, green onion and paprika with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. If not creamy enough add a bit more milk.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Spoon potato mixture evenly into shells.
- Top with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and green onions.
- Sprinkle lightly with paprika.
- Return to oven until hot and cheese is melted, about 15-20 minutes.
- Or you can wrap in saran wrap and put in a freezer ziplock bag and freeze for use at another time.
Tips:
- For perfectly fluffy baked potatoes, pierce the skin with a fork several times before baking.
- To save time, bake your potatoes a day ahead and let them cool completely before refrigerating. Then, when you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.
- For a crispy potato skin, brush the potatoes with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- To make the potatoes extra cheesy, add a layer of shredded cheese to the top before baking.
- For a more flavorful potato, add a mixture of herbs and spices to the potato mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- To make the potatoes even more decadent, top them with a dollop of sour cream, butter, or crumbled bacon before serving.
Conclusion:
Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.
