Delicious Twice-Baked Potatoes

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"I make these often, they are very good, and the ingredients can easily be doubled for more potatoes, when I make these I always double the recipe, what I don't use I just freeze them on a tray, I just defrost in the fridge overnight and pop them in the oven when I am ready to use them, they freeze well. I have also added in some finely chopped cooked bacon to the potato mixture."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 6 potatoes

ingredients

• 6 large russet potatoes, baked (purchase the largest potatoes you can find!)
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1 small egg, slightly beaten
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• salt and pepper
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• parmesan cheese, for topping
• grated cheddar cheese, for topping

directions

1. Set oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a baking sheet.
3. Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour, or until soft; cool slightly.
4. Cut off the tops of the potatoes, spoon out the pulp, discard the tops.
5. Scoop out the pulp from the potatoes, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato around the skin.
6. Place the pulp in a mixing bowl.
7. In a saucepan (or the microwave) combine milk and butter, heat just until the butter has melted and the milk is warm.
8. Pour the milk/butter mixture over the potato pulp; beat until very smooth (I use a stand mixer for this).
9. Add in egg and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions and a pinch of nutmeg; mix well to combine, season with salt and pepper.
10. Stuff the potato shells with the mixture.
11. Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese on top.
12. Place the potatoes on a well greased baking sheet.
13. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
14. *NOTE* use only 1 egg for a doubled recipe, do not use 2 eggs.
15. Delicious!

Sensational! I made these for my oldest son's 8th birthday. He was thrilled with them! The only changes I made were to leave out the scallion because I didn't have any, but I did add the cooked bacon in as suggested. Thank you for another incredible restaurant quality dish!

Great recipe that went together nicely. I used a medium egg in place of the small. The potatoes went through the ricer making the filling nice a creamy.

This is a great recipe. I adjusted the seasonings a bit for taste and given what I had on hand. Gotta say you should take the time to try it and mix to your taste. Thanks for the great recipe!
