Twice-Baked Potato

description Twice-Baked Potato Overview

A twice-baked potato is an American side dish consisting of a large baked potato, typically a russet, that is hollowed out and subsequently baked a second time. The cooked interior potato flesh is scooped out and mashed together with ingredients such as butter, cheese, sour cream, and bacon bits. This creamy mixture is then spooned or piped back into the intact potato shells, which are returned to the oven until the surface is lightly browned. The dish is a popular comfort food in American cuisine and is frequently served as a side item in steakhouses.
