Twice Baked Cheesy Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a casserole dish.
• Scoop potato flesh into a bowl; discard skins. Add Cheddar cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup butter, milk, cream cheese, chives, salt, garlic salt, and pepper. Mash mixture until combined and potatoes are still slightly lumpy. Spread into the prepared casserole dish. Create ridges on the surface with a fork, forming slight peaks.
• Bake in the preheated oven until peaks are slightly crisped, about 30 minutes. Pour remaining 1/4 cup butter on top. Continue baking until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

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.

• 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.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until tender., Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In drippings, saute onion until tender; set aside., When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell. In a small bowl, mash pulp with remaining butter. Stir in milk, egg, salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese, bacon and onion. , Spoon into the potato shells. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

Scoop out the pulp, leaving thin shells., In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add the cheddar cheese, whipping cream, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. , In a large bowl, mash the pulp with cheese mixture. Stir in 2 tablespoons chives. Spoon into potato shells.

• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stab the potatoes with a fork or paring knife a few times on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 60 to 80 minutes. Let cool slightly (but keep the oven on).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened but not browned. Set aside.
• Once the fully cooked potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh of the potatoes, leaving a 1/4-inch rim to preserve the shape of the shells.
• In a large bowl, mash the potato insides until mostly smooth. Add the butter mixture, sour cream, chives and 1 cup of Cheddar and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the mixture evenly into the 8 shells. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato several times with a fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove the potatoes from the oven and reduce the temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Let the potatoes rest until cooled slightly. Slicing lengthwise, cut the top quarter off of each of the potatoes. Reserve the tops. Carefully scoop most of the insides of the potatoes into a bowl, leaving the shell intact. Add the sour cream, 3 tablespoons of butter and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/2 cup cheese.
• Refill the shells with the potato mixture and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Brush the reserved potato tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and put on the baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are heated through and the tops are crisp, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place each potato and head of garlic onto its own piece of foil, which should be large enough to fully wrap around the potato or garlic.
• Prick the potatoes several times one each side with a fork. Cut off the top of the garlic to expose the top of the cloves.
• Drizzle each potato and the heads of garlic with olive oil.
• Move to oven and bake for an hour. (I usually place them on a cookie sheet to prevent any oil from dripping and to make it easier to put in and out at once).
• Remove the potatoes and garlic from the oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
• Unwrap each potato and halve the short way (so they look like little cups, as opposed to a long "boat"). Cut off a small bit on each of the smaller, round ends so that they will sit up straight. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin edge all the way around the cup. Avoid breaking the potato skin.
• Mash the potato flesh in a medium bowl. Add sour cream, processed cheese (reserve 8 small cubes), and pepper, and beat until fluffy.
• Stuff mixture into the cups - it will be quite full, so mound on top as needed.
• Return to oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until heated through and cheese has melted.
• Top each potato half with a remaining piece of cheese and return for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted.
• Garnish the potatoes with bacon and green onions before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Rub potatoes with salt.
