TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rub the potatoes with olive oil and salt; prick them a few times with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool slightly.
• Make a slit in the potatoes and scoop out most of the flesh into a large bowl, leaving 1/2 inch behind so the skins hold their shape. To the bowl, add 1/2 cup of the Parmesan as well as the milk, sour cream, melted butter and half of the scallions; fold together to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture among the potato skins, mounding a bit, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan.
• Bake the stuffed potatoes until golden brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pierce each potato with the tines of a fork. Bake your potatoes on a baking sheet, bare with no tin foil, in a 400 degree oven until soft - anywhere from 40-50 minutes depending on the size!
• Start your bacon cooking, chop it into little slices and cook in a pan.
• Slice the potatoes in half when they are cool enough to handle.
• Carve out the soft insides, as much as you want, and put it in the bowl. Leave some in the potato to hold the shape. I find then when you eat it, you can literally just carve off bites one at a time, instead of a mushy mess.
• Add in your butter, sour cream and cream cheese to the potato filling, mixing in completely.
• Add milk until they are the perfect texture for your palate.
• Mix in the seasoning salt and pepper.
• Drain the cooked bacon and add it and half a cup of cheese to the filling, mixing in completely.
• Add in green onion to taste, start with a 1/4 cup.
• Stuff the potatoes with the filling and add the rest of the cheese on top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Serve these with sour cream sprinkled with a little seasoning salt.

SUNNY'S TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick each potato all over several times with a fork. Rub the oil on the potatoes and sprinkle the skin with salt and pepper. Place the prepared potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until the potatoes are fork tender, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool on the countertop before you handle.
• Lower the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the scallions, garlic, onion powder, dry mustard, 4 ounces cheese, cream cheese and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Slice a 1/4-inch "lid" off of each potato lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the insides and leave about a 1/8-inch thick rim around the inside of the potato halves to keep them sturdy. To make things easier, slide a butter knife around the edges of the inside before scooping. Scrape the little bit of flesh still attached to the "lid" you sliced off and discard the leftover skin. Place the hollowed potatoes back on the baking sheet. Mash the potato flesh in a small bowl, and then add to the bowl with other ingredients. Mash together and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Scoop this mixture back into the empty potato skins, sprinkle with the remaining 1 ounce cheese evenly over the tops and return the potatoes to the oven to bake until the tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with bacon bits, of using.
