  1. What a fantastic 10-star recipe! Not only can you not tell they are lower in fat than the traditional version, I adore the idea of doing the first stage of "baking" in the microwave! I used my microwave's potato setting and they were cooked in about 5 minutes. I skipped the plastic wrap as well. But, I did the rest of the recipe as written and they were a huge hit! Thanks so much for sharing!
     
  2. Love twice-baked potatoes, & these really hit it for me ~ AND, these are a lot more healthy than what I'm used to! I did use just 2 tablespoons of the bacon bits, but otherwise followed the ingredients right on down! Thanks for a great treat & a keeper of a recipe!
