twice-baked potatoes

i have always loved twice-baked potatoes

{who doesn't?}

but this was my first time making them.

they were instantly and unanimously favorited.

{is that a real word?}

after dinner, ned said,

"i don't like baked potatoes, but i do like these."

i bet you will, too.

and how bout that organic spinach~arugula~beet~chevre salad?

: twice baked potatoes :

bake your potatoes in the usual way

{find my baked potato post with how-to here}

once they are baked & cooled a bit,

cut them in half.

gently scoop the potato from the skins

and into a large bowl.

{do your best to keep the skins intact}

mash your potato with all sorts of goodness:

butter, salt & pepper, grated cheese,

sour cream, little bits of fresh chives.

then scoop the mixture back into the skins

and bake them for another 15 minutes. 

you can find a more recipe-ish recipe here.

mmmmm... comfort food.
