Twice Baked Potatoes
Twice Baked Potatoes are so named because of how theyre made.
Whole potatoes are firstly baked until the flesh is soft.
Its then scooped out, leaving the potato skin shells.
This is packed back into the empty skin and baked a second time until deliciously golden and bubbling.
Its a party in a potato!!!
Ingredients in Twice Baked Potatoes
All our favourite ingredients star in these jacket potatoes!!
Potatoes Use starchy or all-rounder potatoes that will bake up so theyre nice and fluffy on the inside.
I useSebago potatoeswhich are the dirt brushed jot down, the most common potatoes in Australia.
For USA,Russetis ideal, and in the UK,Maris Piper or King Edwards.
Use potatoes that are around 300g (10oz) each.
Use streaky bacon if you could, for a better taste (because fat = flavour!
Or just use more finely sliced green onion!
), stuff back in, top with cheese, bake again!
It also helps to ensure the potatoes sit flat once stuffed.
But the rack is not essential.
You could even put them straight on the oven racks.
Mash potato:Mash the scooped out potato.
It doesnt need to be completely smooth, though nor do you want big potato chunks.
Do not be tempted to use an electric beater.
Its a combination you just cant go wrong with!
The cream and butter makes the filling extra luscious.

If youre opting to serve it as a meal, add a freshvegetable side dishto round it out.
Because this stuffed potato is quite rich (creamy, buttery, bacon-y!
), Id opt for something fresh like aCucumber SaladorTomato Salad.
As aside dish, it will go with anything really.
Well, as I often say, anything non-Asian.
I dont think it would work alongside astir fry.
If you wanted to, I wouldnt judge!
(Actually, I would beproud!)
