Twice Baked Potato

"This was originally a weight watchers recipe, which i thought was pretty good. I modified it however to make it better (but a little less weight friendly). This is definitely a guy pleaser, so if like me you have meat and potatoes men that you need to feed, this is a relatively easy go to side."

directions

  • Wrap potatoes in aluminum foil and bake at 400 for 45 minutes to an hour (until cooked through).
  • Reduce heat to 375.
  • Meanwhile cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
  • Scoop inside of potatoes into a large bowl, making sure to leave about 1/4 an inch of potato on the skins.
  • In bowl combine remaining ingredients and mash potato mixture to desired smoothness (i prefer mine a little lumpy). If mixture is too dry, add more yogurt or a little milk until you achieve desired creaminess. Also, feel free to vary the herbs and spices to your own personal taste.
  • Scoop potato mixture back into skin shells. Place potato halves on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until top starts to turn golden.

  1. An old time favorite that I forgot about until I saw this. I used light sour cream instead of the yogurt and mayo. I also used a mexican cheese blend (because that's what I had on hand). A great addition to my recipe file!

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular.&nbsp; I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore.&nbsp; I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
