I love this technique for cutting the tops and stuffing these spuds. The Paprika on top gives these a nice colorful touch. I had to leave the egg yolk out - due to allergy concerns - I just added a spoon of sour cream to help hold it all together. Can be made ahead. Very nice presentation.

These potatoes were very flavorful with the green onion mixed in. I chose this recipe because I was out of sour cream and this recipe doesn't call for it. And you don't miss it. I did add a little garlic salt for extra flavor, and I used yellow cheddar as I did not have white. I like that the section sliced off the top is used inside the shell. No waste! Will definitely make again.

This is so easy. I always thought twice baked potatoes looked nice, but I didn't know how easy they were to make. I wish I would have had some chives to go on top of these, that would have made them perfect! I'm keeping this recipe for sure. It is something I think you can tailor to suit multiple occasions and dishes.

My family raved about these potatoes... definitely worth the extra effort for a special occasion. I had no heavy cream on hand and had substituted about 1/3 c. of cream cheese (1/3 less fat version) and 2 Tbsp. of milk.

Unbelievably fantastic! Followed the recipe exactly but for a minor substitution of 1/4 c. of sour cream + 1/4 c. of milk for the heavy cream. It's time consuming to make these, but so worth it when you have the time. They look gorgeous and would be great for a dinner party.

This was my first time making twice-baked potatoes, and they came out truly delicious. I remember in Chef John's video for this recipe that he said he hoped people would experiment and do their own take on the perfect twice-baked potato, so I did. :) My own version of this will be quite different from this, but first of all, I took his advice and chose very round potatoes for baking. I added sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, butter, and a little paprika, salt, and pepper. I feel like this is a base model for whatever kind of potatoes you want to have. It was fun to experiment. My husband and I scarfed these down with 57 Sauce. (I know, completely unlike this recipe, but I'm taking Chef John's advice and that's my excuse.) These looked really classy, too. Will make again and again! Thanks, Chef!

This was great. I've made twice baked potatoes before and I'm throwing out that old recipe for this one. It had much more flavor (the amount of butter probably helped) and I liked the cayenne and paprika. I added ground beef in mine to make it a main dish. I didn't have any heavy cream on hand (who does?) so I subbed whole milk and melted butter (it says online that can be a substitute). It turned out great. I also sprinkled cheese on top before I threw it in a second time. Dipped it in some barbecue sauce and it was amazing (although it's fine without the sauce, too). The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars it because of the time it took. But definitely worth it.
