TWICE-BAKED CHEDDAR POTATOES



Twice-baked Cheddar Potatoes image

My husband BEGS me to make these constantly! They are so good, my whole family eats them up. There are NEVER any leftovers! Prep time includes baking potatoes the first time. Not the healthiest recipe, so I only make them 4 or 5 times a year.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large potatoes, rinsed and scrubbed
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter
salt and pepper
chopped fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake potatoes in oven until easily pierced with fork.
  • (I do not recommend microwaving them, it makes the skin very soft and potatoes will fall apart when stuffing) Cut off, lengthwise, top 1/3 of potatoes.
  • Scoop out potato with spoon into a medium mixing bowl, leaving shells intact.
  • Add butter, cheese, salt, and pepper to potatoes.
  • Blend with a hand-held mixer, adding milk a little bit at a time until mixture is creamy but still pretty thick (you may not need all of the milk, or you may need more, depending on the potatoes used, how long they were baked, etc.).
  • Using a spoon, scoop potato mixture back into emptied shells.
  • It is ok if the potatoes are stuffed over the top.
  • Bake in a 375 oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and potatoes are brown on top.
  • Sprinkle with chives before serving.

LOADED TWICE-BAKED SWEET POTATOES



Loaded Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes image

They say your greatest strength is also your biggest weakness; the same starchy sweetness that makes this tuber such a popular holiday side dish also can lead to palate fatigue. That's why I've enlisted bacon, lime, jalapeno, green onions, and sharp Cheddar to make these twice-baked sweet potatoes more addictive than in any Thanksgiving past. You can prep them ahead of time and then bake when you're ready to serve.

4 orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
½ tablespoon olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package bacon, diced
⅓ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup diced jalapeno peppers
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
cayenne pepper to taste
½ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
  • Prick the potatoes before baking: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This should take about an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them: This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from breaking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes in half: This will help to prevent the potatoes from crumbling.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Be careful not to scoop out too much flesh, as you need to leave enough to hold the filling.
  • Mash the potato flesh: You can use a potato masher, a fork, or a food processor to mash the potatoes.
  • Add the filling ingredients: Once the potatoes are mashed, add the filling ingredients and mix until well combined.
  • Stuff the potato skins: Divide the filling mixture evenly among the potato skins.
  • Top with cheese: Sprinkle the stuffed potato skins with cheese.
  • Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This should take about 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with chives: Garnish the twice-baked potatoes with chives before serving.
