This Twice Baked Potatoes recipe combines fluffy baked potato insides with butter, cheese, sour cream, and bacon for a creamy, savory filling. Perfect for family gatherings or holiday feasts, these stuffed potatoes are baked twice for a crisp exterior and gooey interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes, then pierce them with a fork.
  • Bake potatoes for 50–60 minutes until tender. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell, and place the scooped-out potato in a mixing bowl.
  • Mash the potato insides with sour cream, milk, butter, ¾ cup cheese, bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper.
  • Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the tops with remaining cheese and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve hot and garnish with extra green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in garlic powder or paprika.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the potatoes up to the second bake, then refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
