Mashed Potatoes Twice-Baked
"From Quick Cooking magazine of 2005...just like the filling in a twice-baked baking potatoes but using either freshly made or leftover mashed potatoes. I like making extra mashed potatoes and then making this dish. I also like to add a bit of extra chopped green onion and extra crumbled bacon to the topping before baking. Yummy!"

Excellent potatoes!! Made half the recipe since it is just DH and I that eat potatoes and it was enough for both of us for dinner and lunch for DH...should have made the full batch so I could have leftovers too! I didn't have leftover mashed potatoes so made some from scratch and cooked the onions with the bacon. Made for ZWT8. -
These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't use the optional red peppers. I mixed all the cheese in the potatoes. We enjoyed them. -
What a delicious and easy way to use leftover mashed potatoes! We really enjoyed the flavors. I included the optional red pepper and skipped adding more salt and pepper, since I was using leftover potatoes that were already seasoned. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7
