How To Make twice baked potatoes
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dry the potatoes after washing, prick them 2-3 times with a fork, rub them with oil, and sprinkle them with salt. Place them uncovered on a baking sheet. Bake potatoes for 45-60 minutes or until soft to the touch when gently squeezed. Remove from oven and allow to cool enough to handle them.
-
Step 2Cut the baked potatoes in half and scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving the outer 1/4-1/3-inch intact.
-
Step 3Add the sour cream, butter, Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
-
Step 4Mash the mixture with a potato masher. Add just enough milk to make them creamy.
-
Step 5Spoon the mashed mixture into the potatoes.
-
Step 6Top them with the remaining cheese and bake. Sprinkle with bacon and green onions.
