50 Reviews of Twice Baked Potatoes

From: MaggieVolk

On Dec 31, 2007

This is a classic blend for twice-baked potatoes. To avoid dry potato skins, (before the first baking), rub your hands with olive oil, then rub the potatoes in your hands. Only the thinnest coat of olive oil is needed. Any more, and you will fry the potato skins in the oven. Just rub the potatoes until they take on an oily sheen (less than 30 secs. per potato). Then do the initial baking. Not only will the skins be tender after the second bake, they will be more pliable and less prone to cracking during the first steps of scooping and refilling.

    SIMPLY MARVELOUS! Company's coming...NUTZ! Decided on an easy meal, grilled rib eye steaks, tossed salad/seasoned oil/vinegar dressing and these marvelous twice baked potatoes with a delicious cabernet sauvignon. Irish Coffee's for dessert. We all had great fun, wonderful company and tasty food...what more could you ask for? The first time I followed the recipe to the letter...received WILD raves. The second time (for company) I sauteed minced elephant garlic in the butter and used sour cream instead of the milk...once again, many WILD raves and hollers for seconds! Thanks for sharing.

    Barbara, you did it...these were wonderful! I didn't have romano or parmesean cheese so I used cheddar and jack together and it was great. I used alot of fresh cooked bacon in and on top of the mixture. Thanks for posting this yesterday when I asked for recipes...its a keeper!

    These are just wonderful! Didn't have any bacon, so I threw some "bacos" into the mashed mixture and the second baking softened them perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful recipie. The leftovers are in the freezer and will be gone shortly!

    These are fabulous! The mashed potato inside a nice, crispy baked shell makes for a great side dish. I especially liked the green onions mixed in with the filling. I'll definitely make this again.

    Wonderful! I didn't have any green onions, so I added some french fried onions to the tops, which added a nice crunch. Piping the filling out of my cake decorator would look nice for company, but for just our family I used a spoon and piled the filling in each potato. I can see many topping variations with this recipe. I'll definitely make this again- thanks for sharing!

    These are excellent, quick and easy. I made this as written but left out the bacon....we had them with steak and had enough meat to deal with! Delicious....I froze the leftovers per your instructions and we're looking forward to having them again. Thanks Aroostook for an excellent recipe

    I made these potatoes for dinner this evening. They were wonderful! I left out the onions, because my father doessn't like them. They were very flavorful. I would definitly make these again.
