LIGHT TWICE-BAKED POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and rub the potatoes generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the exterior of each potato generously with kosher salt then place on a baking sheet. Poke each of the potatoes with a fork or paring knife and bake 50-60 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove potatoes from oven and set them aside until cool enough to handle.
• Once potatoes are cool enough to touch, slice each one in half horizontally. Beginning with the tops, remove the flesh from the skin and add the flesh to a medium-sized mixing bowl and discard the skins. For the bottoms of the potato, scoop out the very center portion of the flesh but make certain to leave at least a ¼" edge in all directions to support the filling. Add the scooped-out flesh to the bowl.
• Mash the potatoes in the bowl with a fork until no large chunks remain then add the yogurt, olive oil, dried basil and cheese and mix until smooth. (You can add a little more olive oil or yogurt if you find the filling to be a little too dry for your taste. Potatoes vary greatly in size, so you'll have to adjust to your liking.)
• Fold in the chopped tomato and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the filling between each of the potato boats, sprinkle with a little bit of extra cheese and return potatoes to oven. Bake an additional 15 minutes or just until the cheese and filling are nice and hot.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prick the potatoes all over with a fork. Brush lightly with the oil. Roast on a sheet tray until tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• While still hot, split the potatoes lengthwise and scoop the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell all around. Season the insides of the potato shells lightly with salt and pepper. To the bowl with the potatoes, add the sour cream, half-and-half and butter. Use an electric hand mixer or potato masher and mix until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese, the jalapenos and scallions. Mound into the potato shells. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Place on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and the cheese is browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.
