Great and easy. My boys really loved them. I used extra bacon and mixed the pieces into the potato mixture. Topped them with cheese and a spoonful of sour cream before baking them. They looked so pretty when they came out of the oven. Five of us ate 6 huge potatoes with only one half left for my oldest to take home with him. I'm going to make more tomorrow to freeze. Thanks for posting these yummy taters!

My kids love these. I have to double the recipe because they like to have leftovers to reheat.

These were delicious although we didnt manage to get them back in the skins as are skins were far too thin. Instead we made large potato cakes from them and baked them that way. Really were the nicest potatos we have had and Id say it was even nicer this way rather than back in the skins.

THE BEST twice baked potatoes I've ever had. I loved this, and my guest raved as well. Really simple to put together, and I wouldn't change a thing. Make these potatoes.
