How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Scrub 4 large russet potatoes clean. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the center.
  4. Let potatoes cool slightly, then carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  5. Scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin. Place the scooped potato flesh in a large bowl.
  6. Add 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl.
  7. Mash the potato mixture until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  9. Sprinkle generously with your favorite cheeses (e.g., 1/2 cup cheddar, 1/4 cup Monterey Jack).
  10. Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately with sour cream or your favorite toppings.
