Twice Baked Potato

I don’t know about you???  But I can eat almost anything Potato!  Twice Baked Potatoes are at the top of my Potato list!!!  The thing I love that most about these isn’t that it’s about the cheapest side you can make… but that it never really needs to be the same… You just work with what you have in the fridge and/or cupboards!  Try it out and get creative…

Make your Twice Baked Potato yours!

Onion and Chive spices

Outrageously Garlic spice

Wash your Potatoes

Rub them down with Oil and Salt Bake 375 degrees for about 45 minutes... Really depending on the size of your potato... You want them to just be soft when you give them a squeeze... but not super soft like a true baked potato!

Scoop out the guts and place them in a bowl... I like to leave a good surrounding in the potato so it helps hold its shape
