Easy Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe
This Easy Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe is one of my favorite side dish recipes to make! It’s my favorite because I love potatoes. When I say I love potatoes I love them all. Mashed, fried, baked, red or sweet it doesn’t matter to me. Potatoes are always a great choice because they can go with almost any meal.
So for this recipe I first “baked” the potatoes in the microwave (feel free to use the oven). I have this super dandy microwavable pouch I got many moons ago at a local craft fair. You place the potatoes in the pouch and cook in the microwave for about 8 minutes and you have perfect “baked” potatoes. After they came out of the microwave I then scooped the flesh out of them and mixed in the cheese and other ingredients with the potato flesh. Next I refilled the skins with the mixture and then placed them in the oven the oven for about ten minutes.
This recipe is great if you are hosting a dinner party. Your guests will be impressed for sure and it is a very inexpensive side dish.
