Twice baked potatoes are a tasty alternative to mashed or plain baked potatoes.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 6 large baking potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons milk or half-and-half
  • 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives

PREPARATION:

Scrub potatoes; pat dry. Heat oven to 425°.

Pierce top of potatoes with a fork. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove a thin slice from the top of each potato and scoop out most of the potato into a bowl, leaving shells intact.

Beat potato with the sour cream, 3 tablespoons milk, and the butter. Add more milk or half-and-half if needed. Beat in salt and pepper then spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Sprinkle with the chives. Cover and refrigerate until the next day or bake at 375° for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until lighlty browned. If the potatoes have been refrigerated, bake at 375° for 20 to 25 minutes, until hot and lightly browned.
Serves 6.

Great recipeOctober 20, 2007By connorspixie
"I tried this recipe out instead of just baking the potato and letting guests top their own. It was much easier to eat on a full dinner plate instead of a big, broken apart potato, leaving more space for other items."
