November 12, 2014 by Laura Filed Under: Friends

With the holidays fast approaching I wanted to share a recipe that I have been making since I was about 10 years old.  Now there is nothing new about this recipe, no secret ingredients but this dish holds a special place in my heart.  It is the first recipe I can remember learning from my mother.  We absolutely love Twice Baked Potatoes.  Creamy cheesy potatoey baconey goodness held in its own little potato skin cup.

And if you have leftover baked potatoes this is a good way to use them up!!

Twice Baked Potatoes

Print Recipe
Cook Time 30 minutes mins
Total Time 30 minutes mins
Servings: 12
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Russet Potatoes baked
  • 5 strips of bacon cut in bite size pieces
  • 1/4 c diced onions
  • 1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1/4 c sour cream
  • 4 T butter
  • 3 T milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sliced scallions for garnish

Method
 

  1. While potatoes are still warm scoop out the pulp of the potato leaving about a 1/4 inch to form a shell.
  2. Place in a bowl and gently mash, set aside.
  3. Place bacon and onions in saute pan and cook until bacon is crisp and onions are translucent. Add bacon, onions and bacon drippings to bowl holding potatoes. Add 1 c cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, and butter and mix gently until well blended. You want the potatoes to be lumpy. Scoop mixture back into potato shells, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot throughout. Sprinkle with scallions before serving.
