Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 russet potatoes medium-large
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 ½ tbsp bacon bits
- 6 green onion sprigs
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup greek yogurt Plain
- 1 cup medium cheese
- 1 cup marble cheese
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes in the microwave (average potato takes 7 mins, flipping halfway thru… add by the minute after 7, if need be until done). Remove potato from microwave and let stand and cool for approximately 1 hour.
- Once potatoes have cooled cut the potatoes in half length-wise.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Line a medium-large size baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out the inside of the potato, leaving some of the potato on the outer edges of the skin to allow the potato to stand more firmly when you fill them.
- In a small mixing bowl, add scooped potato with the butter. Mash that all together with a fork.
- In a larger mixing bowl, mix together your Greek yogurt, sour cream, greenonions, bacon bits, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Add your mashed potato to the sour cream/Greek yogurt mixture and mixeverything together using a fork.
- Once everything is well combined using a soup spoon, scoop a heaping amount of mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins, gently press the mashed potto into the potato skins, over filling. Continue doing this until all potatoes are filled.
- Top the stuffed potatoes with the marble cheese and place them in theoven for 16 minutes.
Notes
Choose the Right Potatoes: This is key. Russet potatoes are the best due to their higher starch content, which gives them a light and fluffy texture once they’re baked.
Avoid Overcooking the Potatoes: You really want to ensure that you don’t overcook the potatoes. If you overcook the potatoes they won’t set the same because the skins of the potato become wrinkly.
Pre-Shredded Cheese: To save time making this recipe, use cheese that is already shredded and ready to go!
Get Creative with Your Toppings: Once these twice-baked potatoes are ready to serve, load them up with some more toppings, like extra Greek yogurt, sour cream, salsa, Pico de Gallo, sautéed veg, fresh parsley, etc. ADD what you want for extra garnish!
