A fun delicious take on creamy cheesy roasted potatoes. What I like about this recipe is that it can be a hardy side, or make it a whole meal depending on what toppings you add. It’s really up to your own imagination and taste what you want to top the potatoe with. The recipe is flexible and amounts are generally a guideline. That said, for the most important part, the best potato to use for these are Russet potatoes. I hope you enjoy!
Twice Baked Cheese Potatoes
Servings: 3 to 4
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 2 hours
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, optional
- 2 handfuls (about 1 1/2 cups) grated cheese of choice, I like a mixture of low-moisture mozzarella and sharp cheddar or Gruyère
- Oil of choice
- Kosher salt
- Scallions and caramelized onion salt for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle a glug of oil all over them, season with a big pinch of salt and roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Slice each potato in half, crosswise. Scoop out the potato flesh using a spoon or fork, leaving a rim around each potato. The final result should roughly look like a boat.
- Add the scooped potato flesh to a medium bowl. Add the butter, sour cream, 1 cup or a handful and a half of cheese, cayenne, and a big pinch of salt and mix to combine.
- Scoop or pipe the mixture in the potato “boats”.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Add the remaining cheese on top of the potatoes and broil for 2 to 3 minutes until melted.
- Serve right away with scallions on top, and caramelized onion salt.
