Twice Baked Potatoes

266shares
Jump to Recipe -

Twice Baked Potatoes are the perfect side dish to serve along side grilled chicken or steak, or, stuff them a bit fuller and they become a main course. I added fresh steamed broccoli and crispy bacon, along with some extra cheese, and toppings of salsa and sour cream to make these a satisfying main course.Twice Baked PotatoesTwice Baked Potatoes aren’t a lot of work, but they do take a bit of time, since you need to first bake the potato, then scoop it out and make the filling.  I find it’s just as easy to make a few extra to pop in the freezer. So, while I only needed to cook two potatoes, I opted to cook four. Half were filled with the simple cheese stuffing and two (four halves) were super stuffed and became our dinner. These overstuffed potatoes were seriously delicious!

Here’s the super stuffed versions ready to go into the oven.Twice Baked PotatoesAnd after baking. YUM!

Twice Baked PotatoesA little salsa and sour cream and these beauties were ready to be enjoyed!

A little side Caesar (this one without the chicken) was all we needed to complete our meal!

Twice Baked Potatoes

Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 TBSP butter
  • 6-8 green onions thinly sliced
  • 6-8 sliced bacon fried crispy & chopped
  • 1 small bunch broccoli lightly steam florets
  • 1 1/2 cup grated cheese I used a combination of cheddar and jack
  • 2-4 TBSP milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • Optional toppings: salsa and sour cream

Instructions

  • Bake potatoes until fork tender and set aside to cool slightly.
  • In the meantime, cook your bacon (crisp). Chop and set aside.
  • Steam broccoli florets until al-dente. Drain and set aside.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh.
  • Place potato skins into baking dish (foil lining pan will make clean up easier).
  • In large bowl, and using an electric mixer (or a hand potato masher), blend together potato flesh, butter, sour cream, & milk. Add salt and pepper. Blend until well mixed.
  • On low speed (or stir in if using a potato masher), mix in green onion and 3/4 cup of cheese.
  • Using wooden spoon or spatula, carefully stir in broccoli and bacon.
  • Scoop potato filling into potato shells. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for about 20 minutes at 350*. Uncover and continue baking for approx. another 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • Top with salsa and sour cream.
  • Enjoy!

    I love twice baked potatoes but I haven’t made them in forever!! These are going on the dinner menu soon! I think we can make a whole meal out of these!

    These look delicious! I meal prep for me and my family every week so these would actually be perfect for us. I can make them on sunday and when we want to eat them we can bake them the second time! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

Rocky Road! Have you ever made this delicious treat? It’s a tradition in our family and I can’t imagine it being Christmas without it! It’s so simple to make and makes a deliciously sweet gift for friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. Check out my recipe (the recipe link is in my profile).

I always love coming up with cute ways to wrap it! Each year is a little different but equally as sweet!

A little bit salty and a whole lot of sweet, these Potato Chip Cookies are melt in your mouth delicious! And did you know that calories don’t count in December? J/k, but don’t you wish you could indulge on all the goodies guilt free? These are definitely worth the extra calories at least once a year! Find the recipe link in my profile.

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!

Don’t you just love a Cake Pop? It’s the perfect fun treat for the little ones and since it’s just a bite or two, it’s a guilt free treat for adults. I love baking with the grandkids, and can’t wait to make these again this year! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Did you know it’s National Cookie Day? Or maybe it’s National Cookie Week. Either way, it’s always a good day to make a batch of these Gooey Christmas Sprinkle Cookies! They’re the easiest cookies to make and everyone loves them! You can find the recipe link in my profile.

Hi friends! 
Here’s a big question for you? Do you serve a green salad with your Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner? 
❤️🥗🦃🥗❤️
I did not grow up with green salads at Thanksgiving, but years ago I added this Blackberry Spinach Salad to my menu and now I can’t imagine the holidays without it! Besides being delicious, it’s is so festive!!! The recipe link is in my profile.

It’s also Saturday, which means it’s time to see what my friends are sharing!

I rarely share my home, unless it’s a dining room tablescape or something I’ve cooked, but this morning when I walked into the kitchen, I was immediately filled with joy!! The house is clean (mostly) and the Christmas decorating is nearly done. With all the heaviness going on with tighter Covid restrictions, I am choosing to have a great day!! 🎄❤️🎄 I’m heading out to do a few quick errands, then plan to crank up the Christmas music, make my afternoon coffee, and sit and enjoy! ❤️🎄❤️ What are your plans today?

I’ve ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey and now it’s time to start the grocery list making for the rest of our dinner. Our Thanksgiving dinner is very traditional! Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, jello salad, veggies (creamed spinach or roasted brussel sprouts), green salad, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, and THESE DELICIOUS CANDIED SWEET POTATOES! I can’t make enough of these for my family, they literally “gobble” them up! Recipe link is in my profile!

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that we bbq all summer long, but once it’s Fall and weather changes, all I want is soup! It’s certainly a good thing that my husband enjoys it as much as I do! I have my grandmas old soup pot, and although I occasionally use my crock pot (or Instant Pot), I much prefer to simmer my soup on the stovetop using Grandma’s old soup pot! 
🍂🤎🍂🤎🍂
This delicious Hamburger Soup is the perfect recipe to share for #recipeswapsaturday. You can find the recipe link in my profile.

I wonder what my friends have cooked up in their kitchens this week? Make sure and visit their page and tell them I say “hi!”
