Categories     Potatoes

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large russet potatoes
olive oil
coarse salt
2 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
sea salt, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 c plain yogurt
4 oz grated cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp minced chives
paprika, to taste, for sprinkling
minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2. Scrub and wash potatoes very well using a vegetable brush. Dry with a paper towel and rub with olive oil; sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
  • 3. Bake potatoes in oven for about an hour, or until fork tender. Allow potatoes to cool until they can be handled but are still hot; about 10 minutes.
  • 4. Using a knife, cut an oblong hole in the top of the potato. (You may need a clean dish towel or mitts to handle the potatoes.) Using a spoon, scoop out as much of the potato pulp as you can, leaving the side walls intact. Scrape the pulp out of the tops you cut off, too, and discard the "lid".
  • 5. Return the shells to the hot oven for another 10 minutes to crisp.
  • 6. Meanwhile, mash the potato pulp using a potato masher, adding butter, salt and pepper, garlic, onion, cream, yogurt , cheddar (save a little cheese for the top) and chives. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • 7. Spoon the mixture into the potato shells until heaping full and return them to the oven. Sprinkle tops with remaining cheese and paprika.
  • 8. Bake in 425°F oven (on top rack) until tops are golden and bubbly, about 10 minutes -
  • 9. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

These potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the recipe next time.

I loved the crispy skin on these potatoes. The yogurt sauce was a nice addition, but I think I would have preferred a more traditional sour cream sauce.

The potatoes were a bit dry, but the yogurt sauce helped to offset that. I think I would try using a different type of potato next time, perhaps a russet potato, to see if that makes a difference.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed them more with some additional seasonings or a different sauce. The yogurt sauce was good, though.

These potatoes were a bit more work than I expected, but they were totally worth it. The crispy skin and fluffy insides were amazing, and the yogurt sauce was the perfect complement. Will definitely make these again for special occasions.

Followed the recipe to a T and they turned out perfectly. The potatoes were cooked through evenly and the yogurt sauce was creamy and flavorful. Served them with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I'm not usually a fan of twice-baked potatoes, but these were a game-changer! The yogurt sauce added a delightful tanginess that perfectly balanced the richness of the potatoes. Will definitely be making these again.
