Twice baked potatoes recipe

Have you ever tried a twice baked potatoes recipe? Twice baked potatoes are a little time-consuming, but the extra effort is worth the taste. 

With a twice baked potatoes recipe, you first bake the potatoes like normal, then you scoop out the potato centers, leaving a shell. Then mash the potato filling, add back to the potato shells and bake again!

The toasted mashed potato filling in the twice baked potatoes recipe is amazing. It really takes baked potatoes to the next level.

Red skin potatoes

What type of potato do you like using? With me, I prefer red skin potatoes. Red skinned potatoes have moister flesh and are lower in starch than other potatoes. Plus red potatoes hold their shape better when cooked.

Since you take the potato center out and mash it to make a stuffed baked potato recipe, what type of flavors can you use? You can do anything from bacon and cheese to truffle and goat cheese. The flavor of the stuffed baked potato can be endless with possibilities.

Caprese Twice Baked Potatoes is a stuffed baked potato recipe with tomato, basil, and mozzarella. These red skin potatoes are then topped off with a balsamic drizzle.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 large red skin potatoes
  • 8 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bake the potatoes in the oven for about an hour, until the skins are firm and the center is soft
  • Meanwhile, chop the cherry tomatoes and mix with the grated mozzarella, and chopped basil, set aside.
  • In a small saucepan combine the balsamic vinegar and honey together.
  • Bring to a boil and let it reduce until the vinegar coats the back the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • When the potatoes are cooked, remove from the oven.
  • Cut them in half length-ways and scoop out the majority of the flesh with a spoon. Be very careful not to tear the skin- leave a quarter inch of flesh still in the skin to provide a firm shell.
  • Lightly mash with a fork the potato portion that has been removed from the skins.
  • Mix in the cream cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Now add the mozzarella and tomato mixture to the mashed potato and scoop back into the shells.
  • Place on a foil-covered baking tray and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the filling is hot and beginning to turn golden.
  • Serve on a plate, drizzle some the balsamic over the potatoes and ENJOY!
