How to Make Twice Baked Potatoes Quick And Simple

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using leftover baked potatoes, skip to step 3. If starting from scratch, wash and pierce potatoes several times with a fork. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch border.
  4. In a large bowl, mash the potato flesh with melted butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper. Stir in bacon bits, if using.
  5. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
