Featured Recipe: Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes
This steakhouse favorite is considered a side dish in a restaurant but our recipe for Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes makes a filling entree. As we get older (read rounder), we don't need a steak to go with the loaded baked potato.
But is it realistic for a regular weeknight? Yep. You can make our Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes in under 25 minutes. Well, that is, with a couple of tricks.
You need a stash of already-baked potatoes on hand. (Click here for our favorite high-heat technique.) And why not bake a bunch since you're heating up the oven anyway? Makes sense to us!
These potatoes are fairly flexible and can be stuffed with any type of potato topping -- chopped broccoli, ham and various cheeses are always welcomed.
Our recipe is reminiscent of twice-baked potatoes from Alicia’s childhood but that version was banned some years ago due to a high fat content. This slightly slimmed-down version makes a worthy light dinner – and we’re not kidding about the name “overstuffed”!

What you're saying..
Thank you, honestly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart for giving this gift to the "frantic families" in the world. God Bless you! Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go dig in to my "Oh-so-easy Turkey Tetrazzini" (it was a YUM!)
