cheesy baked potatoes

With halved potatoes filled with loaded mashed potatoes and cheese, this Twice Baked Potatoes recipe can serve as either a meatless main dish or a side. It combines all of your favorite baked potato toppings in a fun “twice baked” way.

Twice Baked Potatoes

russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)

olive oil

salt

milk

butter

sour cream

cream cheese (room temperature)

cheddar cheese (divided)

onions

garlic powder

pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Wash and dry potatoes, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with the Kosher salt. Set potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour until soft.

Remove from oven and slice potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and transfer them to a large bowl, leaving about 1/8&quot;-1/4&quot; of shell to hold the filling. Arrange shells on the baking sheet.

Add the warm milk, butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and mash with a potato masher. Add half of the cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, then taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed or add more milk if the potato filling seems too dry.

Fill each shell with the potato filling, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot all the way through and the cheese has melted on top.

Cheesy scalloped potatoes are the perfect side dish for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or cozy winter potlucks and family dinners.

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

heavy cream

garlic,

onion,

all-purpose flour

black pepper

nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375°F. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or knife.

In a saucepan, melt butter. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in heavy cream. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer until thickened.

Stir in most of the shredded cheese until melted and smooth. Reserve some for topping.

Layer half the potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour half the cheese sauce on top.

Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce. Top with reserved cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20–25 minutes.

Let sit 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing and thicker sauce.
