My Favorite Twice Baked Potatoes
Golden potato skins, fluffy cheesy filling, crispy bacon on top. There’s so much to love about a good twice baked potato, and this version adds one extra layer of flavor: garlic-paprika butter!
The garlic cooks gently in butter until fragrant and lightly golden, then a little smoked paprika gets stirred in before the whole mixture is mashed into the potatoes. Add tangy sour cream, warm milk, sharp white cheddar and fresh chives, and you’ve got a creamy filling with plenty of savory flavor tucked into each potato shell.
Then it’s back into the oven for the second bake, just long enough to melt the cheese on top and turn the edges lightly golden. Finish with the reserved bacon and another sprinkle of chives, and serve them hot alongside dinner. Let’s make a batch! ♡
