Good recipe. What drew me to this recipe was the avocado (which I've recently become infatuated with). However in this recipe, I didn't like the way the potato and avocado tasted together. Otherwise, the potatoes were great!

These were outstanding! DH said the best twice baked potatoes he had ever had and he doesn't like guacoamole. But he loved this recipe 
I used Homemade Guacamole to have with this potato recipe. And I added alittle whipping cream when creaming the mixture together. I also added alittle Monterey Jack cheese on top of potatoes before baking in oven. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!

So good! Loved the use of avocado in this recipe. Used cheddar cheese and served with lamb chops and Sharon's cucumber salad recipe for a delicious dinner.

Wonderfully different recipe using the cheap and plentiful avacados in my area. I can't wait to try them to see how pepper jack or sharp cheddar cheese tastes in the recipe, but as written they were deicious!
