Twice Baked

  • Slice potatoes in half and scoop out the inside into a medium sized bowl, leaving about a ⅛ inch shell all around.

  • Mash the potato with the half and half, butter, cheese, and salt & pepper.

  • Place mashed potato mixture into a pastry bag and pipe filling back into the potato shell.

  • Place potato halves on a baking sheet and bake in oven for about 10 minutes or until tops of potatoes are brown.

Over Stuffed
  • Bake potatoes as above,scoop out insides of potatoes, and mash with the half and half, butter, cheese, salt & pepper, but add any additional toppings into mashed mixture before placing mixture into the pastry bag to pipe into the potato shell.

notes:

I always bake extra potatoes if I am turning on the oven anyway. (don't make the potato in the microwave as the shell will not be firm enough to stuff)These can be prepared ahead of time and frozen for use any time you need them.
