OMG, I love these things.


Good recipe, but I would suggest not wrapping the potato in foil. This traps the natural moisture inside the potato and you actually are steaming the potato, not baking it. The reason you pierced the potato was to allow the steam to escape and this gives a great mealy potato instead of a boiled in its own jacket yellow clump. See Naked Baked Potatoes on my page or go the Idaho Potato website www.idahopotato.com. Twice-baked can be made ahead and frozen and microwaved back to life for when get-it-on-the-table-fast is important. Good eating!


Thanks chefjeb--my husband won't do the foil either, but it drips in my oven and I don't like cleaning it--haha I do sometimes place a cookie sheet on the lower rack for this reason. I will check out the links you sent too--I appreciate it my friend!!


Just made these tonight and they were delicious ! Thanks for the recipe ..


Thanks---I love these too!!!


Gonna try these- looks great- trying to get the sour cream out of the fridge before it really goes sour...


I myself like the "clump" :)


My whole family loves these. Thanks for the recipe. Hope things go well for you.


Wonderful recipe! My family absolutely loved them. I baked some smaller potatoes for the children used the same recipe but decorated faces on top when they were done using a few chives for hair/tiny pieces of black olive for eyes and red & yellow pimentos for the nose & mouth. Everyone loved them and the children didn't complain about eating their veggies tonight ;) Great recipe and thanks so much for sharing!


My mom used to make twice baked potatoes and I loved them. So I tried these and they were just as good if not better than I remember them being. Thanks!
