Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large baking potatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves minced garlic
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup chopped green onion, divided
ground black pepper to taste
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Rub potatoes with olive oil and salt; pierce each several times with a fork and arrange onto a baking sheet about 6 inches apart.

Stir scooped potato, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and most of the green onion together with the garlic and butter; cook and stir the mixture until heated and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Scoop the potato mixture into the potato skins and arrange onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake in oven until heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish with remaining green onion, bacon, and paprika.

SUPER CHEESY TWICE BAKED POTATOES FOR TWO



Super Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes for Two image

An easy twice baked potato recipe for two people that is stuffed with cheddar, pepper jack, cream cheese, sour cream, and more.

Provided by sara a.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large russet potato
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt ((such as Lawry's))
2 tbsp. whipped cream cheese
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese*
1/3 cup shredded pepper jack cheese* ((or colby jack))
1 tbsp. whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
salt + pepper ((to taste))

Steps:

  • Wash the potato under cold running water, then dry with a kitchen towel. Poke holes all over the potato with a fork.
  • If using the oven, rub a little neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola) over the potato, and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 425 F for 50-65 minutes, until soft in the center. (You can test this by wearing oven mitts and gently squeezing the potato, and if it gives, it's good to go!)If using the microwave, just pop it in and hit the "potato" setting, or cook for about 4 minutes, carefully flip it over, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until done.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the potato in half lengthwise. Set the halves next to one another, and gently scoop the cooked potato into a medium bowl. Leave a little border near the skin of the potato so it doesn't break.
  • Add the butter, seasoned salt, and whipped cream cheese to the bowl. Use a fork to smash these ingredients into the potato, eliminating as many lumps as possible.
  • Sprinkle cheese into the bowl, and stir in completely. Add milk and sour cream, and stir until completely combined. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if desired.
  • Divide the potato mixture between the hollowed-out potato skins. If you're feeling extra, top the potatoes with even more cheese.
  • Bake the potatoes at 375 for about 15 minutes. If you want the cheese to be browned and bubbly on top, switch the oven to a low broil, place the potatoes about an inch beneath the broil, and broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly.
  • Sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve hot!
