Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

By cwaldron09

Delicious!! They don't look like the picture, but they still taste bomb dot com. Invest in the green onion, it's delicious. Don't add bacon it will ruin it. And (if you really need to) substitute yogurt for sour cream. Everyone (who tried it) like it.

Preparation

Step 1

1.Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees and prepare potatoes for baking by scrubbing them, and poking them with a fork a few times.

2.Place potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about one hour, or until tender. Remove the potatoes from the oven, and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

3.Reduce the heat of the oven down to 325 degrees.

4.Cut each potato in half lengthwise so that you are left with 8 halves. Carefully scoop out the flesh of each potato, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh.

5.Using your mixer, combine the potato flesh with sour cream, butter, cheddar cheese, bacon (if you’d like), sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until light and fluffy.

6.Scoop the mixture back into each potato shell. If you fill each shell pretty full, you will end-up discarding four halves.

7.Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.

8.If you’d like a crispy top, turn your broiler on to high and allow the potatoes to broil for about 3-4 minutes. Watch the potatoes very carefully as they will burn quickly!

9.Top with chopped green onion and serve.
