Last night I decided to grill steaks for me and Jesse for dinner on the George Forman. To go with them, I made twice-baked potatoes, which I had never made before. They were delicious. I like potatoes just about any way you can fix them, but it think I've found my favorite way. I'll be making them again. And I think I'm going to try the method with sweet potatoes too.
I wish I had thought to take a picture, because my potatoes were very nice looking. But we had cleaned our plates before photography crossed my mind. So I borrowed a photo from the internet
Recipes for this dish are readily available all over the internet. Here is how I made mine. Preheat oven to 400. Wash potatoes and rub them with olive oil. Place them in the oven (no foil) and bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes (for large potatoes). Let baked potatoes cool to touch. Slice off top 1/3 or so of potato. Scoop out contents and place in mixing bowl. Add a bunch of butter (I used about a stick for two potatoes; the health-conscious may want to use less), a little salt and mash. Add a dash or two of milk and beat till smooth. I didn't use a mixer. I just beat them real good with a spoon. Scoop potato back into skins, mounding up the tops. Cover tops with cheddar cheese. Bake in 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes.

Susan, sweet potatoes are wonderful twice baked, too. I rarely go to the effort to twice bake either kind, but as I recall, when I did the swedes, the recipe called for chopped cooked bacon and diced green onions along with all the other goodies.

Oh yum!!!
A couple of months ago I had 4 potatoes that HAD to be used soon, so I baked all four and put them in the refrigerator. In our dinners that followed, DH made twice backed potatoes using a variety of different ingredients each night. He liked not having to work with hot potatoes and to our amazement, we were well satisfied with just half of a potato for each of us, so thereafter, one pototo/meal was what we shared. The refrigerated baked potatoes kept well for a week, too. I've since baked multiple potatoes just for this use.
Hugs!

Sounds good but I can't have potatoes anymore.

I make mine with chopped chives or ham or cooked leeks in the potato mix too. They are great with Chilli or Bolognese sauce. They are really versatile and you can add different cheeses and flavours to the potato. Yummy!
