Steps:
- Scrub potatoes. Spray pan and potatoes with cooking spray and lightly sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350 degrees until done (approx 40 minutes).
- Let potatoes cool enough to handle. Slice in half lengthwise. Spoon out the inside of the potatoes into a bowl; leaving a shallow amount in the shells. Place shells back into pan.
- Add cream cheese, butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons of the milk and all spices into the bowl with the potato insides. Stir until blended & fluffy, but not overworked. Adjust with additional tablespoons of milk if needed. The result should be creamy, but still scoop able.
- Spoon into the potato shells. Cover and chill at this point if making for a later meal. They can also be frozen at this point.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are hot & lightly browned. If working with chilled potatoes made earlier in the day add 10-15 minutes cooking time. The potatoes can also be baked directly from frozen by adjusting the cooking time.
- Optional garnish: After removing from oven sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika & the green onion tops for color.

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.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES
At its simplest, a twice-baked potato is creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes cradled in crisp, salty skin. That's the recipe you see here: comforting, satisfying and pretty much ideal. But if you dream of other flavor combinations, like bacon, scallions and sour cream; blue cheese and chives; or cauliflower and Parmesan, just follow the recipe below and stir in any additions (reserving some for garnish) after the dairy in Step 3. Shower the top with more grated cheese if you like, then bake, garnish and dig in.

Steps:
- Position racks in the top and middle of the oven, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke holes all over them with a fork. In a large bowl, toss them with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes directly on the top rack, and place a baking sheet or a piece of foil on the middle rack to catch drips. Bake for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Slice the top third lengthwise off the potatoes. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch border of potato on the skin, and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Scrape the potato tops of all flesh, and add the flesh to the bowl. Place the bottoms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Snack on the tops - chef's treat - or discard.)
- Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, and stir until smooth (try not to overwork). Add the milk, sour cream and cheese and stir to combine. (If you want the filling softer, add more milk.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, if using.
- Mound each potato skin with a quarter of the filling. Bake the potatoes until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

DELICIOUS TWICE-BAKED POTATOES
I make these often, they are very good, and the ingredients can easily be doubled for more potatoes, when I make these I always double the recipe, what I don't use I just freeze them on a tray, I just defrost in the fridge overnight and pop them in the oven when I am ready to use them, they freeze well. I have also added in some finely chopped cooked bacon to the potato mixture.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potato sizes and shapes for a more visually appealing dish.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. You should be able to easily insert a fork into the center of a potato.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. This will help prevent the potatoes from breaking apart.
- Be careful not to overmix the potato filling. You want it to be smooth but still have some texture.
- Season the potato filling to taste. You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings you like.
- Fill the potato skins with the filling and top with cheese. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella are all good choices.
- Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Serve the potatoes immediately, while they are still hot.

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner, a holiday party, or a potluck. With so many different ways to prepare them, there is sure to be a twice-baked potato recipe that everyone will love.
