Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe
Twice baked potatoes are easy and delicious. Made with potato, butter, milk, green onion, cheese, sour cream and seasonings. The next time you bake something in the oven, wash some potatoes and lay them on the rack while the casserole bakes. Let them cool and refrigerate for the next day, half the work will already be done.
Bake potatoes whole in the oven. Slice the potato lengthwise. Scoop out the inside leaving about 1/4” still intact and place the scooped-out potato into a medium bowl. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet.
Using a mixer, beat the scooped-out potato with milk and butter, just like you would when you make regular mashed potatoes.
To the scooped-out potatoes add the green onion, salt, pepper, cheese, sour cream and garlic powder. Mix with the mixer until combined, do not over mix.
Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture.
Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 15 minutes or until hot and the cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley, optional.
Then serve!

Thank you for sharing Ned!
I often forget this with baked potatoes and different fillings. Some times I chop up ham or bacon and add that in with cheese as well,.
Yes you can do so much with baked potatoes. I think my favorite is to scoop thick chili with cheese on top.
Nice one! 🙂
Thanks Paul!
These look so good! I can smell and taste them from just the pictures.
Thank you Ab!
I wonder if I can use this same recipe r we the eggplants…💭
It would definitely be fun to try. We have never been crazy about eggplant so I don’t cook with it but it should turn out.
Little potato boats – they look delicious too!
I could eat these every day and they are easy & fun to make. Thanks Linda!
Yes, I’d be popping them in my mouth at a rapid rate too. 🙂
My mother used to make these, but I haven’t in a long time because I would try to do it all at once. If I can bake the potatoes ahead of time, as you suggest, it might be feasible for me. Is it not necessary to mash up the potatoes when they are hot?
I actually microwaved the scooped out potato from cold for a minute or two just until the butter would melt. I didn’t find it necessary to heat the shell. It was so simple to make without having to worry about an hour baking the same day. I didn’t put anything like oil on the potatoes and I didn’t prick them when I baked them either. I also didn’t wrap the whole cooked potatoes when I refrigerated them which kept the skin from getting soft.
I used to make these! So yummy!
I always forget about them. I had so many potatoes so I threw them in the oven and figured out what I would make the next day.
Twice the bake and twice the yummy flavors!
Thank you Mary!
Oh yummy! I’m definitely going to try this recipe … another one for my ‘Diane recipe’ folder 😉.
You can downsize it pretty easily. You will love these Corna! Add bacon, ham, sausage etc. and make them a meal!
It looks so yummy
Thank you!
Yum. What a great idea to cook the potatoes when you have something else in the oven.
It makes another meal so much easier with the potatoes cooked. I have even made potato salad with them. Thank you Carla!
Great comfort food!
Thank you, perfect with any meal.
One of my favorite side dishes
Me too!
