How to Make Ultimate Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork. Wrap each potato individually in foil.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. While potatoes bake, cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove bacon and crumble; set aside.
  5. Once potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Carefully slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato in the skins.
  7. Add 1/2 cup light sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons light margarine, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions to the bowl with the potato flesh.
  8. Using a hand mixer, beat until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy.
  9. Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins.
  10. Top each potato with the remaining shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and remaining green onions.
  11. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
