I wonder what recipe holly uses, here is one off the Google
Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe
- Cook time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Add to shopping list
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, about a pound each
- Olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1 Tbsp cream
Cheddar and bacon version
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 4 strips bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Blue cheese and chives version
- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Method

1 Bake the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes clean under running water. Poke each potato in several places with the tines of a fork so that when the potatoes are cooking they don't explode. Rub the potatoes all over with a little olive oil. Place directly on the middle or top rack of the oven. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. They should give a little when pressed.
If short on time you can bake the potatoes in the microwave, 10 minutes on high heat for 2 potatoes, 15 minutes for 4 potatoes. The skins of microwave baked potatoes aren't nearly as crispy, so you may want to rub a little olive oil on them and finish them in a conventional oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.
2 If you are including bacon as one of your mix-ins, while the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon strips in a frying pan on medium low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Let cool. Crumble.

3 Allow the potatoes to cool to touch. Slice the top third lengthwise off the potato. Use a spoon to scoop out the insides, forming a potato "canoe", leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.
Alternatively you can slice the potatoes in half, lengthwise. In this case you may want to bake an extra potato so that you will have more potato filling to mound into the potato boats.
4 Place the scooped out potato insides, sour cream, milk, cream, and butter into a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher. If you want a creamy texture, beat with an electric beater until desired consistency. Note, do not over-beat potatoes, they can turn glue-y.

5 Mix in the extras with the potatoes. Reserve some of the extras to sprinkle on the tops of the potatoes. Spoon fillings into the potato shells. Sprinkle with extra toppings.
6 Heat oven to 350°F. Place potatoes on a roasting pan and bake 15 to 20 minutes until heated through.
Yield: Serves 4 to 6.
I'm adding those potatoes to my to make list. Tonight we are having cheesy broccoli and chicken skillet
Highliner breaded fish ( not sure what kind but I know I used a coupon and a sale to but it ;)), homaemade tarter sauce and tater tots . No salad since Harley ate it all :P
Lazy dinner but I am using up the stuff burried in the freezer!
Tonight is breakfast for supper, with pancakes instead of the french toast I had planned.... I couldn't justify waiting 20+ minutes in line at the grocery store to buy one loaf of bread (apparently every federal employee in the National Capital Region went to food basics at lunchtime today and stood in the express checkout line. :rant:). I will do some sweet potato baked homefries to go on the side, seasoned with a dash each of cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper (for some reason, this combo really works!).
Last night we went out with DH's parents for his Mom's birthday, so it was Chinese food.
Saturday was a very fabulous supper as DH barbecued some elk steaks along with some zucchini and a baked potato to celebrate the warm weather, and the fact that buying stuff off of kijiji took me to a house adjacent to the area's elk farm. Talk about a delicious coincidence! ;)
Elk glowworm? and thriftygranny's venison?? I am way out of my area of knowledge when it comes to those meats. Hope it was all delicious!!
Elk is amazing, great flavor and very tender, do they sell buffalo out east? It is very popular here and very lean and low cal. I cook a lot of game, I appreciate that it is not full of steroids and hormones, but I still love beef we just don't eat as much of it.
Tonight was homemade pizza :)
oh and a vegan cupcake that was leftover from my sisters b-day...I gave her all but two since they wouldn't fit so they became mine :p
I threw a pork roast something or other in the crockpot with pots, carrots, onions, and rutabagas.....oh and a little white wine and a bunch of herbs!
Don't actually know what the meat is, just know its the cut on sale at super c this week and thought it was cheap enough to give it a go in the crock. Apparently its a keeper...and i need to go back to super c and get some more,lol
For myself, well i just did a jacket potato ..just couldnt be bothered to cook today!
Thanks for the clarification about the "twice stuffed potatoes," walkonby! :)
Turns out I have had them before and they are sinfully delicious, and like anything sinfully delicious, they are also bad for my figure. LOL. Darnit! Why is all the really tasty stuff not good for ya? DH has made them...'cept he calls them "potato skins" rather than twice stuffed potatoes.
