How to Make Mexican Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork.
  3. Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  5. Once cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
  6. Scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch border. Place the scooped potato flesh in a large bowl.
  7. Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
  8. Mash the potato flesh until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
  9. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  11. Sprinkle the tops with extra cheddar cheese (about 1/4 cup).
  12. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and potatoes are heated through.
  13. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon onion salt and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste) before serving.
