Stuffed baked potatoes in 4 ways
Baked stuffed potatoes are made by baking potatoes then removing the flesh and mixing it with rich flavorful ingredients like sour cream bacon and cheese. This mixture is piled or pumped back into the potato skins and then baked until puffed and golden brown. (They are sometimes called twice-baked potatoes.) Large russet-colored baking potatoes work best in this hearty recipe because of their size and tough skins. You can vary the way you make stuffed potatoes by changing the type of cheese or adding other ingredients like cooked onions and/or garlic.
These potatoes are a delicious side dish for everything from roast chicken to meatloaf to steak. They also make a hearty entree that’s perfect for enjoying while watching the game or eating as a meal with a big bowl of soup or salad.
This recipe also freezes very well. Stuff the potatoes with the seasoned bacon and cheese mixture let them cool for 20 minutes then freeze them on a baking sheet. Wrap the frozen stuffed potatoes tightly in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 4 months. Once frozen bake them at 400 F for about 40 to 50 minutes or until the potatoes are hot and the tops are beginning to brown.
