Best Twice Baked Potato Recipe

Twice Baked Potato is a delicious take on potatoes. A bit sour, spicy, tangy & tasty. The baked skin of the potato is a bonus. The best part is the goodness & richness of the potato. A keeper recipe for me.

More easy baking recipes like savory tomato zucchini tart, focaccia, and olive bread.

I made Twice Baked Potatoes not long ago. We celebrated New Year with them.

V wanted them again.

What V wants, V gets!

Does he? Doesn’t he? Two different viewpoints we share. Blame it on matrimonial harmony!

Coming back to twice-baked potatoes, last time I baked them using hung curd mixture, this time I used the potato filling mixed with potato scooped from inside.

The result for delicious and very filling.

Though the baking time is high, I find it needs minimum work and is perfect for parties. It is truly a crowd-pleaser.

While photographing the potatoes, I thought setting it formal, not sure it worked here. V didn’t like it much.

It’s been 2 months since I clicked these, but when I look at my images of today and this one, I feel I could have done better.
