Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe

This twice baked potatoes recipe makes a great prepare ahead side dish or part of the main course. I like to roast my potatoes in the oven while I'm busy doing other things. Take them out and let them cool, sometimes for hours until I get back to them, then finish prepping them.





4 baking potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
salt and pepper

Bake potatoes in oven until tender. Allow to cool slightly. Cut top off and set aside. Scoop out potatoes and place in bowl. Place potato shell in a baking dish.

In your bowl with potatoes add butter, milk, sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend together. Taste and season as needed. Spoon mixture back into potatoes. Sprinkle tops with cheese if needed. If desired at this point, you can place in the fridge until dinner time. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

You can also add other ingredients if you'd like such as chopped chives, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions or sprinkle in chopped cooked bacon. I also add a sprinkle of dry ranch dressing mix for more flavor.
