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.
  • Bake in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool until cool enough to handle, keeping oven heat at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop potato from each half into a bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of the potato attached to the skin all the way around.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in butter until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. 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.

I'm not a big fan of twice-baked potatoes, but these were actually pretty good. The cheese filling was creamy and flavorful, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly.

These potatoes were a disaster! They were overcooked and the cheese filling was runny. I would not recommend this recipe.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the potatoes were a little dry. I would recommend adding some more butter or milk to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I found the recipe to be a little bland. I added some extra spices and cheese to the filling and it was much better.
