Thanks so much!! I am watching fat and cholesterol and needed something with FLAVOR!! This has it. I made recipe with fat free sour cream and fat free cream cheese and fat free cheddar, but otherwise didn't change anything else. It is great!!

Very easy to prepare and they tasted yummy! I baked 3 potatoes so that we have leftovers. I suspect they will be good the 2nd time around as well. I added garlic to the mixture and omitted the margarine and salt. I also used mozzarella because that's what was on hand. Husband said OK to make again, so this recipe has passed the test! Thanks much.

These are FANTASTIC! We omitted the bacon bits and used regular onion in lieu of the chives. We also froze these (fully assembled but without final cooking). Heated up in 30 minutes (from fully frozen state) in the oven for a quick, easy side. Delicious, healthy, quick option!

Wonderful twice baked potatoes, delicious too!! I used plain no fat yogurt in place of sour cream and real well crisped bacan with green onion instead of chives. We loved them and I will be making them again. I forgot to add the paprika on top but I did put half of the cheddar on top instead of all inside. Thanks for posting.

I coated the potatoes with a little oil and baked till the outside had a nice crust then scooped out the center and mixed according to directions here. I used green onion in place of the chives as that is what I had on hand. I love that you can make these ahead of time and do the final baking just before dinner. Loads of flavor, low in fat and company worthy. GREAT RECIPE!
