How to Make Zucchini Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Scrub and pierce 4 medium russet potatoes.
  2. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 50-75 minutes, or until tender. (Alternatively, microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender).
  3. Let cool completely until easy to handle.
  4. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  5. In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium zucchini, diced, and 1/2 medium onion, diced. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
  7. Scoop out potato pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
  8. Place potato pulp in a large bowl and mash thoroughly.
  9. Add 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon butter. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  10. Stir in the sautéed zucchini and onion mixture.
  11. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.
  12. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  13. Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  15. Let cool slightly before serving.
