I love potatoes, any variety, don’t you?
They’re filled with minerals and vitamins, and are the ultimate comfort food for me. That is, unless they involve soup, no potatoes in any kind of soup for me!
Bill and I are satisfied with boiled potatoes or baked potatoes, with a dab of butter, and salt and pepper, but when it’s time to splurge, this is one of my go to potato recipes: twice-baked potatoes packed with sour cream, Parmesan cheese, onion, horseradish, cheddar cheese, a little butter, salt and pepper, and bacon, topped with chopped chives.
Plus, these potatoes can be prepared ahead of time, and refrigerated until time to reheat for your serving. They’re great to make ahead and freeze for when unexpected company drops in also.
Truthfully, I could make a meal of just these delicious spuds, a perfect little meal of comfort food!

Printable recipe
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon seasoned pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
¼ cup onion, minced
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
8 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 tablespoon milk, or more
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Fresh chopped chives and paprika, for garnish
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub and pierce potatoes, bake for 1 hour, or until fully cooked.
Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly.
Cut potatoes in half and scoop out potato, place in a large bowl, being careful, so as not to tear the skins.
Add butter, salt and pepper to potatoes, mash until smooth.
Add sour cream and mash again.
Add horseradish, onion, Parmesan and bacon, stirring well.
Stir in 1 tablespoon milk. It you like it creamier, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
Add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Fill empty skins with potato mixture.
Divide cheddar cheese every among potatoes.
Garnish with a sprinkling of chives and paprika.
Return to oven and reheat until hot. Or refrigerate them to reheat later before mealtime.
ENJOY!
Oh, yum! Just perfect! I think I'll make some of these very soon!

Oh my gosh. So good.
ReplyDeleteThey were great, Ivy! Thanks!
DeletePam, These twice baked potatoes would be a real treat for us. Our favorite potato at home would be my wife's spice and sea salt rubbed baked potatoes with a bit more than a dab of butter...plus sour cream for her and sharp cheddar cheese plus bacon for both of us. (Then I put Tabasco on mine!) Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Dave! Yours sound great! I never thought about the Tabasco, so will try that. Have a great rest of the week! Take care
DeleteI love potatoes Pam and these look delicious:)

DeleteI most definitely love potatoes, Pam, and these look and sound scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing, and your header is beautiful. I have a two year old cat named Romeo who looks very much like the cat in your header. He is black and white, has beautiful green eyes and a kind of (what I call) "white diamond shape" on his forehead. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! Oh, I bet Romeo is a cutie, has to be with that name! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
DeleteThis is one of my all time favorite potato dishes but we never eat it except on special occasions. Looks like you have a very good recipe for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Larry! They were great and yes, same here, only on special occasions. Have a great day!
DeleteThis must be potato day. Yours is the second potato recipe I've seen that I want. I adore potatoes!
ReplyDeleteSounds like it, Abbe! Potatoes are way up on the food chain for me. Take care

DeleteBill gets SO excited when I make twice baked potatoes! I don't usually add bacon, but love that idea. Will have to tweak my recipe with some of your ideas. Have a wonderful weekend.

ReplyDeleteYour potatoes remind me that I need to make twice baked potatoes MORE OFTEN. You're right, they are so much better and I love how you make yours Pam! I'm also loving little Luxie's center stage photo at the top of your blog. She is just gorgeous! How is she coming along in her new home with you?
