For the Potatoes
  • 4 large russet potatoes The starchy interior makes them perfect for holding rich fillings.
For the Filling
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and a smooth texture to your filling.
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream This keeps the mixture creamy and helps balance the flavors.
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Use half in the filling and save the rest for topping!
  • 1 tsp garlic powder A little garlic elevates the flavor and adds warmth.
  • 2 green onions Chopped, optional for freshness and a mild onion flavor.
  • Salt and pepper Essential for enhancing all the mouthwatering flavors.

Method
 

How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Gently wash and dry the russet potatoes. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork, and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  3. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before slicing in half lengthwise and carefully scooping out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  4. Mix the filling by adding the butter, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and green onions. Blend until creamy.
  5. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it high, then sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
