[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Alternative, it’s a different thing, but: Bake potatoes until deep brown; oil and salt them, if preferred Scoop them out entirely into a big bowl, be gentle but try to get all the potato without causing structural issues to the remaining skin. Skins go back in the oven, empty side up whilst you do the rest, should be crisping up but not shrivelling. Mash the scooped potato until smooth, adding black pepper, cream, cheese, bacon etc. Remove skins and refill them as densely as possible Mozzarella on top, parsley, herbs etc. to taste Back in the oven until looking good and ready Don’t burn yourself permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NABDad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Sounds like Twice Baked Potatoes. My mom used to make them. My wife does too. To be extra fancy, use a piping bag with a star tip when you fill them. permalink fedilink source parent
