Indulgent twice-baked potatoes recipe: Perfect for both special occasions and everyday dining!
Ingredients:
  • 6 medium round red or white potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes or 4 medium russet potatoes (2 lb), peeled if desired, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 package (5.2 oz) soft garlic-and-herbs cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup half-and-half, warmed
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled (1/2 cup)
Instructions:
  • Place potatoes in a 2 1/2-quart saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain, then return potatoes to the pan and gently shake over low heat to dry them out for fluffier mashed potatoes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously coat a 1 1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray.
  • Mash potatoes in a pan until smooth. Mix in garlic-and-herbs cheese, salt, and pepper. Gradually add half-and-half, stirring well after each addition until desired consistency is reached. Stir in 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Transfer to a casserole dish and top with remaining cheddar cheese and bacon before baking.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are hot and the cheese has melted. Finish by sprinkling with the remaining parsley.
