Easy Twice Baked Potatoes

Recipe Description

Easy Twice Baked Potatoes is one of my go-to side dishes! They are so easy to prepare and cook. I usually bake my potatoes in the oven but if you are short on time, you can use the microwave instead.

Once your potatoes are baked, scoop out the flesh into a bowl and mash it with sour cream, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour in the desired amount of milk or buttermilk and stir through some bacon, chives and cheddar cheese. Bake the potato skins for a second time in the oven until the cheese has melted.

To make my version of Easy Twice Baked Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
