TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Rub potato skins with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and rub potatoes to coat. Bake potatoes in preheated oven 50-60 minutes, or until soft. Do not wrap potatoes in foil. Remove potatoes from oven and slice skin off the tops. Scoop potato flesh into a large bowl, reserving intact skins. To potatoes, add all but two tablespoons of cheese plus egg, butter, roasted garlic and liquid smoke if using. Mash potatoes while gradually adding milk. Spoon mixture into skins and top with remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown.

CHEDDAR AND GARLIC-STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put a rack in the middle of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard top quarter of garlic head. Place in a piece of foil and drizzle with just a tiny amount of olive oil (about 1/8 teaspoon). Bring up all sides of foil and twist tightly at the top to wrap the garlic tightly in the foil. Scrub potatoes and prick with a fork. Bake potatoes and garlic on oven rack for 45 minutes.
• Remove garlic and let cool. If crispy skin is desired, rub potatoes with olive oil and cover with foil; continue baking potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes more. Take potatoes out of oven, but leave the oven on.
• Squeeze pulp from garlic cloves into a medium bowl and discard skin. Stir in butter, sour cream, and 1 cup Cheddar. Cutting lengthwise, slice off top quarter of each potato and discard. Leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells, scoop flesh out of potatoes and add to cheese mixture. Mash with fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper and divide among shells.
• Arrange potatoes in a small baking pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Bake until heated through, 15-20 minutes. Add a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of chopped green onions on top before serving.

ROASTED GARLIC TWICE-BAKED CHEESY POTATOES

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.
