A tasty recipe - served with grilled steak and Maple Dill Carrots, also from this site. I made a few changes - I used 1/2 cup of light sour cream and 4 ounces of light cream cheese (which I had on hand - so a good way to use it up) for the 1 cup of sour cream. When mixing the potato mixture, I added half of the bacon to the ingredients, saving the rest for the top as directed. I made the potatoes ahead of time, refrigerated them, and baked for 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven before serving. I had some spillage over the sides of the potato cases - but I attribute that to the 'light' products - not the recipe. The potatoes were delicious.

Believe it or not, I'd never had twice baked potatoes before. A lot more work than plain baked potatoes, but quite tasty.

This is a good, classic recipe. I thought it needed a few minor changes, though. I increased the salt and pepper to 1 teaspoon each. And, I added a tablespoon of homemade dry ranch dressing mix to the mash. They were a hit!

Yum! I am a vegetarian, so left out the bacon and used broccoli instead of onion. A meal unto itself!

AMAZING!! I dont really cook a lot, and this was so easy to make! I used almost a whole block of light cream cheese instead of sour cream. It seemed to be pretty thick and creamy using the cream cheese. Over all loved it! thanks!

I was originally bringing a chicken dish for a shower, which at the last minute got changed to a potatoe dish. In a pinch I started with mashed potatoes since the shower was for 75 people. I quadurpled the recipe and added garlic, pepper and a variety of different grated cheeses. It was a tremendous hit. Even though there were other potatoe dishes there this one was demolised.

This was good but not WOW. I don't think I added enough salt or something. It tasted a little bland. I think next time I'll jazz it up a little with some garlic salt or something.

I adjusted this recipe to use up leftover mashed potatoes I had in the fridge. I added sour cream, onion powder, crisp bacon pieces and grated cheese my taters. Placed the new mixture in a casserole dish and topped with more bacon (can't go wrong with bacon) and more grated cheese. Cooked at 350' for 10 minutes and then broiled until browned and bubbly. I would do this again but leave the skins on my potatoes for a baked potato casserole, a little easier than stuffing skins.

Very tasty, yet very traditional tasting. I used bacos, and bottled chives because I was in a pinch. I also decided to roast a head of garlic and squeeze it in for flavor after reading some other recipes/reviews. I may use a more exotic cheese next time and try sauteing some of the ingredients next time. This was the first time I have ever made these so this was a great starter recipe.. really these are sort of fool proof and you can probably modify to your taste buds. (Broccolli, garlic, ham, cheese, whatever sounds yum!)

Love these potatoes! I omit the milk, it isn't needed. I also use a slice of velveeta on top instead of the additional cheddar cheese.

I have tried this recipe twice. The first time I had not much success because of the time for baking the potatoes. The second time they turned out great. I combined cheese, green onion, sour cream, milk, garlic, salt and pepper. Five minutes before serving I sprinkled extra cheese and a small amount of paprika before serving and broiled them. This gave the potatoes great coloring and the melted cheese was yummy! Will definitely be used for company with many of my future meals. Thank you!

YUM! Delicious! I had asked my picky husband if he wanted a twice baked potato with his dinner tonight and he said no. Well, when I took these out of the oven, he suddenly changed his mind and ate the entire thing before I had a chance to eat a bite! They were delicious! Thank you, thank you, thank you! SO EASY and GOOD!

I have made these twice in the past week. Once as my family's potato choice for Christmas day and another time for a staff Christmas party. Both times I made them the day before and then popped them in the oven 30 min. before we ate. They were perfect. Nice and creamy! I will note that I did add about 3 oz of cream to each batch just like I do when making GOOD mashed potatoes. Put the mix in a zip lock bag and snip off the corner to fill your potato halves. If you want to make it super fancy, use a 1M piping tip. Try this one you will love it!
