how to make twice baked potatoes. These are a wonderful side dish to make

for a holiday or any special event because you can cook these ahead of time

and just simply reheat the night before serving so they are a great

addition to a special meal and they also look kinda fancy so why not go

ahead and give these a try.

Well all I've done is I pre-baked these potatoes. These are kinda small

potatoes I don't want to use a large potato for this because I want

something nice and a little bit more delicate. So I bake this for about 45

minutes and now I'm going to show you how to go ahead and cut these

potatoes and scoop them up and get them ready to stuff them so they'll be

really really good. We are simply going to take and we're just going to

nick off like the top third of the potato here. Like this. And then this

side I just simply going to dump all the way into the bowl and then for

this is end I'm going to kinda scoop it out like a little boat.

Now I just want to scoop out the insides so I can use these potatoes and

then stuff them. You don't want to go too close to the edge because if you

do that it's going to break apart on you so just kinda be careful and once

I get these all cored out I'll go ahead and show you how to make the

stuffing and fill them. So let me tell you a couple of things about these

potatoes. Now before you bake them, wash them to make sure they're nice and

clean. And secondly, you can also eat the skin. I get people asking me that

question all the time. Yes the skin is perfectly edible and all the

nutrition is actually, well not all of it but a lot of it, is in the skin

so go ahead and be adventurous, try eating a potato skin.

So now I have all these potatoes scooped out and I have them in bowl, and

I'm just going to mash them up with a fork. I'm going to add a couple of

tablespoons of butter to this. So what you can do with these is put

everything that you love in a baked potato already in here so it tastes

just like a baked potato. I'm going to add some sour cream. Then I'm going

to add some of the cheese here. I'm not going to add all of it, because I

do want to put a little bit on top when we're done. I'm going to add some

of my bacon as well. I just cooked bacon but if you use bacon bits that's

great. I'm going to use a little bit of scallions, you could also use

chives those work really well. We're going to go ahead and add some salt

and some black pepper.

Then we're going to stir these together and fill them with our potato. So

now it's time to go ahead and stuff these potatoes. So you're just going to

take some of the stuffing mix and scoop those right into the hollowed

portion that you took out and you're going to end up with more mix than

what you started with so go ahead and let these kinda mound up so they'll

be pretty. And when we get done with this we're going to go ahead and use

the broiler function in the over. So every oven has one of these just click

it on to broil and you're going to broil these until they get a little bit

brown on top.

So at this point I'm going to go ahead and add a little bit more cheese.

And when this cheese melts I know that they'll be done. Now if you're going

to go ahead and reheat these you're going to to need to put your oven on to

about 350 and heat 'em up for about eight to ten minutes and then you can

put on a little more cheese and broil them so the cheese turns nice and

brown.

So we have taken these out of the oven. I put them in the broiler. It took

just about five or six minutes and you can see the cheese is wonderful and

brown and just before serving I'm going to go ahead and top these with a

few more green onions and a little bit of bacon and we're going to go ahead

and serve these up.
