Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 baking potatoes, washed
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 sticks salted butter
1 cup bacon bits (fry your own!)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup Cheddar or Jack cheese (or a mix of both), plus more for topping
1 cup whole milk
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
3 green onions, sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 russet potatoes, scrubbed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus more for topping
2 cups grated white cheddar cheese (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes with a fork or paring knife a few times on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 60 to 80 minutes. Let cool slightly (but keep the oven on).
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch rim to preserve the shape of the shells.
  • In a large bowl, mash the potato insides until mostly smooth. Add the butter mixture, sour cream, chives and 1 cup cheese and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the mixture evenly into the 8 potato shells. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with more chives. Serve warm.

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, vegetables, main course, side dish

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 fluffy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking: This will help to prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about an hour.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh: This will make it easier to handle.
  • Mash the potato flesh with butter, milk, and seasonings: This will create a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Fill the potato shells with the mashed potato mixture: Be sure to mound the filling in the center of the shells.
  • Top the potatoes with cheese and bacon: This will add flavor and texture.
  • Bake the potatoes until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when eaten hot.

Conclusion:

Twice-baked potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to formal dinners.
