I was surprised at how creamy these were! I did not have any bacon bits, so I fried 1 slice of bacon until crispy then crumbled that into the potato mixture. I also added some chives. I will be making these again!

Absolutely the best stuffed potatoes we have ever eaten!

These potatoes are absolutely wonderful! I didn't have any bacon bits, so I cooked some bacon that I had on hand. They turned out perfectly. I had never made twice baked potatoes until these and now they'll become a staple in our house. Thanks so much for sharing, Mel.

Delicious potatoes! I baked the potatoes early in the day and mixed together the potato topping and put it in the fridge. While the rest of my dinner was cooking I mashed the potatoes and mixed in the topping and stuck then in the oven to heat them. I added equal amounts of ranch dressing and sour cream and also mixed in some fresh ground black pepper. My DH told me I could make this again! Thanks for posting your recipe Melanie!

So very creamy and cheesy! What more could one want in a stuffed potato? I added a little bit of chives to my filling and it was very nice. My daughter asked for seconds, and she rarely does that with anything. Thanks for posting!
