Delicious Potatoes

I am definitely going to try this recipe. I love stuffed baked potatoes!
Delicious!!!!!

Valinda Snelling from Zanesville, OH

I have made these potatoes before with 2% milk. This time I used the Carnation Evaporated milk, and what a difference. They were so creamy. And yummy. Will definitely make them again this way.

The lighter side

Tricia Porter from Hattiesburg, MS

These are delicious. I used Carnation Fat Free Evaporated milk which is a staple is my kitchen. I use the Fat Free Version for everything from coffee to casseroles. It is great. I'm 55 and still wear a size 4.
GOOD SIDE DISH

LYNN MCGEE from Hubert, NC

WE LOVE TWICE BAKED POTATOES, BUT NEVER HAD A RECIPE THAT WE FOLLOWED, FOUND THIS AND LIKED IT REALLY WELL. IT WAS VARIED FROM WHAT WE USUALLY USED. WORKED AS A SIDE DISH, AND THE LEFTOVERS MADE A GREAT LUNCH BY THEMSELVES.

We can always use another potato recipe. This one is easy and good. Add bacon if you like.
A zippy substitution

Diane McSweeney from Federal Way, WA

These potatoes are a crowd pleaser! I didn't have enough cheddar so I made them half pepper jack and half colby jack. They were delicious!
TASTY POTATO

BETTY PENDLEY from PALMETTO, FLPRIDA

THESE POTATOES WERE SO TASTY! THEY MADE A NICE PRESENTATION, TOO. I WILL MAKE THEM OFTEN. PERFECT FOR HOLIDAYS. YOU CAN MAKE THEM AHEAD OF TIME & FREEZE THEM AND POP THEM IN THE OVEN ON THE HOLIDAY.
EXCELLENT!! Even for two...

Jessica Lara from Iowa Falls, IA

There's only two of us to feed, so I cut the recipe in half and used 3 potatoes. They turned out better than I could have expected! My husband told me, "You can make these any time you like!!" I actually baked the potatoes the day before to save myself time the following day. Excellent recipe!

twice backed potatoes

Kim D from

these turned out great and so simple, makes you wonder why when you go out to eat they charge extra for these.

Phil D from

I love bacon so not only did I mix it in with the potato mixture I sprinkled a lot on the top. I also topped it off with a dab of sour cream just before serving.
Twice Baked Potatoes

Maureen Wilson from MARIETTA, GA

The potatoes were excellent and my family loved it. I added the bacon to the potato mix before stuffing the skins. Will make again.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

ERIS BLANTON from WATERTOWN, NY

Very easy, fun. we loved it. couldn't ask for a easier side dish. Have to make this more often.
you should also try....

Jess from canada

This recipe is kind of like my Mom's who has been making these potatoes for as long as I can remember. The one variation is when she scoops out the potatoes; she adds milk, sour cream, chopped green onion, grated cheddar cheese, and bacon bits, then mixes it all together. Re-stuff the potatoe skins with mixture and then top with remaining cheddar cheese. These will go over amazing with your families and guests.
BEST EVER

Melody Frazier from FORT LORAMIE, OH

These twice-baked potatoes were so easy to do, I will make them again. Everyone loved them. They are by far the best I've ever had. Thank you
cheese combo for perfect tater

Karin Gaffney from lakewood, CO

My husband loves twice baked potatoes - but since I grew up in a very Italian family, I never made or ate them before - Thank you so much for this recipie, I made it for his Birthday dinner last night. The only change I made was to substitute the cheddar cheese with a provolone/parm mix and then stuck it under the broiler for the browned cheese effect it was so yummy!
Excellent potatoes

Cortnie Kopp from

Twice baked potatoes have always been my favorite way to do potatoes. I'm very excited to have re-found the recipe. I encourage everyone who likes potatoes to try this recipe. I do think it takes some practice getting the insides out without damaging the outsides, but it's definitely worth it! I like mine topped with sour cream.
TWICE-BAKED NOT BAD AT ALL

KIMBERLY DAY from MT. GILEAD, OH

THE POTATOES ARE GREAT AND EASY. MY KIDS AND BOYFRIEND LOVE THEM A LOT. SO I WOULD SAY GO FOR IT.
Twice-Baked Potatoes

Sherri Wilburn from LAKE CITY, TN

These do take a little time but are well worth the effort. They are also good reheated in the microwave.

Twice Baked, twice as good!

Katherine Riehle from THENDARA, NY

These were very easy to make and so-o good. We really enjoyed them with Easter dinner and so did our guests.
Yummy potatoes

Sandy Wagar from VICTORIA, TX

I have made baked potatoes before by scrubbing and putting in foil and baking for about an hour sometimes adding butter to outside of potato to keep it soft but never scooped out and made as good as these are. Will definitely fix again.

Very good, great flavor and easy to make, thanks for a great recipe!!!!
stuffed baked potato

Joyce Townsend from Salisbury, MD

I made these for dinner the other night and everyone really liked them. Make sure you cook the potatoes completely. You can heat them up the next day and they are just as good.
Very good

Florence Lewis from WINTER PARK, FL

I have always bought frozen twice baked potatoes but now that I have found this delicious and easy recipe I will not go back to frozen again. My family really enjoyed the potatoes.
VERY GOOD

A very good side dish the family just loved these so much.

Twice-Baked Potatoes

Brenda Barnett from Cleveland

These are so tasty and easy to make. They are easy to take to dinners at work or at church. Eveyone loves them.
A few modifications and loved by all

Michelle Weiss from ARLINGTON, VA

I baked the potatoes mostly before scooping out, which made them much easier to scoop (30 ish minutes in the oven). Then I scooped out and followed the recipe for the scoopings, except used 1/3 cup evaporated milk, 1/3 cup 2% milk instead of 2/3 evaporated milk (saved the rest of the can for after dinner coffee). Returned skins to the oven for crisp-ness. Instead of using seasoned salt, I used a touch of kosher salt and garlic powder, which worked great. This was a very, very big hit with everyone.
Yummy for the Tummy

Heather Grunauer from FREDERICKSBURG, VA

I have been looking for a recipe to make twice baked potatoes. This one is definitely a keeper. My whole family raved. Thanks
WE Love 'EM!!!

Marcia Tate from OCEANSIDE, CA

My son loves baked potatoes but these have beat out anything else! He loved these when I tried this recipe out!!
twice baked potatoes

Heather Nolting from Independence, IA

I had to make a side dish for a picnic and chose these. Instead of filling skins I peeled and mashed potatoes with the other ingredients, then put them in a pan and baked them that way. I also used 1/2 carnation milk and 1/2 sour cream and onion chip dip. I still used the cheese on top and bacon and green onions to dress it up a bit. The picnicers thought it was a nice change from our usual
Twice Baked Potatoes

Terry Golden from Grenada, MS

This is a simple yet comforting recipe. I use a cup of milk and half a cup of mozz cheese in addition to the cheddar. I also serve it with sour cream and sliced black olives...and a fair amount of good ole black pepper, as well as the bacon and green onions...a winner!
Twice Baked Potatoes

noemi white from Lamarque, TX

Served at an informal party this summer, I couldn't resist trying them at home. I have now used them as a main course.

Very easy!

Heather from

Im not a very good cook so when my boyfriend said his brother and wife were coming over for dinner I was nervous, But I made these and everyone loved them. The only thing I would do diffrent next time is make more!
Terrific Twice Baked Potatoes

Marian Plummer from Cleveland

This recipe was a hit with the whole family. Will definitely make this again and again. The next time I will substitute regular milk for the condensed milk. The condensed milk made the potaotes a little sweeter than we would have preferred, bu this is an awesome recipe.
twice baked potatoes

ivy lang from claremore, OK

I do a version of this but I use ranch dressing as well as milk and I lay american cheese in the potatoe before I put the mashed potato back in and cover it with bacon to reheat.
Look like a pro!

Jane from Matamoras,Pa.

This recipe came in handy! Although, I do suggest a full cup of Carnation milk, 7 oz. of shredded cheese in the filling, and 3 oz. of cheese to sprinkle on top. I also I added some garlic powder & paprika for flavor.
Fun Way to Serve A Southern Staple!!!

melissa freeman from Lanett, Alabama

This is a delicious way to serve potatoes. Our family gets tired of the same old southern mashed potatoes. This is a wonderful way to enjoy potatoes, my three year old loves it!!!
