Twice baked potatoes make any meal an event! No matter how simple the other dishes I serve, when I include twice baked potatoes, I always know everyone will remember the meal. But I will tell ya, a twice baked potato alongside a perfect steak and a capri salad will earn me big smiles from my boys. And that’s the best review this Mom hopes for in a meal.
Here’s how I make them.

I love twice-baked potatoes. I still remember the first time I made them for my family when I was growing up. My mom was notorious for overcooked baked potatoes, so the fact that I not only cooked them properly but then added butter, sour cream and cheese to them was a complete turnaround from what the fam was expecting.
you have the best food at your house, robyn! yum!
Oh yum, Robyn. It has been so long since I’ve had twice baked potatoes!

Hi Colleen, at 400 degrees for the original baking and then 350 for the second. Thanks so much! I’ve updated the recipe.
