Best Ever Twice Baked Potatoes
These Vegetarian Twice Baked Potatoes are worth every minute you are about to spend on them! They are so, so good – creamy, warm, and comforting. And they are really easy to make, it’s just the time it takes to bake them that makes it feel time consuming. This is a perfect recipe for the weekend, when you have the extra time to start them before dinner. Or, you can make a huge batch and put them in the freezer to have a week night dinner ready quickly!
I like the warmth of these potatoes, especially on a cool Fall night. If you like warm and cozy, too, then you might also like a fresh out of the oven Easy Garlic Knot or a cup of this Hot Cocoa with a Baked Apple Cider Donut!

Recipe Notes:
- Reheating – To reheat, bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Freezing – Make the potatoes as directed and allow to completely cool before freezing. When ready, wrap each potato individually with plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe bag. When ready to serve, take them out the night before and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator then bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. If baking directly from the freezer, bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.
- Vegetarian bacon – If you’d like you can stir in 6 strips of Morningstar Vegetarian Bacon Strip’s, broken into pieces, into the potato mixture before baking the second time.
