TWICE-BAKED POTATOES



Twice-Baked Potatoes image

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.

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and softened
4 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
Black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives (optional)

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for twice-baked potatoes because they have a high starch content, which makes them fluffy and light.
  • Bake the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be baked until they are soft and fluffy. If the potatoes are not baked thoroughly, they will be difficult to scoop out and mash.
  • Use a generous amount of butter: Butter is what makes twice-baked potatoes so rich and creamy. Don't be afraid to use a lot of it!
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Once the potatoes are mashed, you can add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives.
  • Bake the potatoes again: After the potatoes are filled, they need to be baked again until they are heated through and the topping is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make twice-baked potatoes that will impress your family and friends.
