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!
What You’ll Need:
- 8 Russet Potatoes
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- 2 cups Sour Cream
How to Make Vegetarian Twice Baked Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry 8 Russet potatoes. Pierce each potato with a fork in several places then bake for an hour.
- Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut the baked potatoes in half the long way and spoon out most of the inside of the potato. Place the potato in a bowl.
- Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheese and 2 cups of sour cream with the potato. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together 3 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika.
- Brush the oil and Parmesan mixture over the top and bottom of each potato skin.
- Distribute the potato mixture evenly into the potato skins, then sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 16-18 more minutes.
Tips:
- 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.
