Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Twice Baked Potato Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 russet potatoes
12 strips bacon
1 pound broccoli florets
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
  • Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
  • Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

CLASSIC STUFFED TWICE BAKED POTATOES



Classic Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes image

This is my perfect basic recipe for twice baked potatoes. These potatoes are great to make ahead of time. Just refrigerate or freeze until you need them, and reheat in the oven. I prefer sharp cheddar cheese, but you can use whatever you like, but it will change the taste of the recipe. Cook time includes baking the potatoes. Bake a few extra potatoes for extra filling if you like.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h27m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium baking potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon milk, maybe more
4 slices American cheese or 4 slices other good melting cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Scrub and pierce potatoes.
  • Bake for one hour, or until fully cooked.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Cut potatoes in half and scoop out potato, being careful not to tear the skins, and place in a large bowl.
  • Set skins aside.
  • Add butter and salt to potatoes; mash until smooth.
  • Add sour cream; mash until combined.
  • Add cheese; mash until combined.
  • Add one tablespoon of milk; mash.
  • If the mixture needs to be more creamy, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
  • Add additional salt to taste, if needed.
  • Fill empty skins with potato mixture.
  • Top each potato with a half slice of cheese.
  • Return to oven and reheat until hot.
  • *Note*You may also refrigerate them to reheat at a later time, or you can freeze them.
  • If you freeze them, delay placing the cheese slices on top until you are ready to bake them. You might want to add more milk to the mix before filling the potatoes because after freezing they seem to reheat a little less creamy.
