How To Make ~ twice baked potato ~

  • 1
    Preheat oven 350 degree F. Wash & prick potato 3 - 4 times with tines of fork. I then rub with olive oil & roll in salt. Bake for about 1 hour or until cooked through. Remove from oven and let set until cool enough to handle.
  • 2
    Cut the potato in half, lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving roughly 1/4 inch closest to skin. Place in a bowl, along with salt, pepper, Parmesan, cream, green onion and mix until creamy. I just used a spatula.
  • 3
    Place the halves of potato on a small baking sheet and fill each halve evenly with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and place back into oven. Bake 15 - 20 minute or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

    I then salt & pepper again. Add bacon evenly to each. and add a dollop of sour cream if prefer. Garnish with more green onion and enjoy! My kids love these.
