This is my version of a twice baked potato, and I have been making these for years. The only hard part is keeping everyone from diving in before I get to do the photo shoot.

How To Make twice baked potato

Step 1

Scrub and prick potatoes 6 to 7 times with the tines of a fork and place in a microwave. Cook on high, turning from time to time until tender.

Step 2

In a large bowl place the butter and cream cheese.
Step 3

When the potatoes are just cool enough to handle scoop out the pulp leaving just a thin rim of potato. A sharp knife run around the outside will help this along. Put the hot pulp on the cream cheese and butter.
Step 4

Reserve 1 cup of cheddar cheese, and 4 tablespoons of chopped scallions.
Step 5

With an electric mixer,mix the pulp, butter and cooking cremes together until smooth.
Step 6

Add the milk and whip til smooth.
Step 7

Add the rest of ingredients and mix well.
Step 8

Stuff the potato shells with cheese mixture and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until hot.
Step 9

Last 5 minutes of baking sprinkle the 1 cup of cheddar over and then scallions evenly, continue to cook til all bubbly.
