Huge hit with my dinner guests! Absolutely delicious although labor intensive, but worth every bite. Great recipe to double or triple, for economy of scale.
Really good, basic twiced-baked potato. Will definitely have these again.
I cut ingredients in half, cuz only making 2 potatoes, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Very,Very YUMMY!!!!!
All I have to say is wow! I thought this recipe was questionable due to fact that these needed to be microwaved but was my mind changed once I took a nice big cheesy bite! A keeper!
Yum! I cannot eat dairy, so made some with and some without the cheese, and both were great. I subbed a good brand -Wayfarer’s – of vegan sour cream, for the whole batch; then used organic white cheddar for those who could eat it – a lesser amount, though, and then some melted on top. Because there was less cheese in the mix, I added some margarine and a splash of non dairy milk. No one could detect that there were dairy substitutes in the potatoes. My guests devoured every last bit – as did I. I served these with Ina Garten’s Panko Crusted Salmon – what a dinner! Thanks for another great recipe.
So good! I only made 2 potatoes so I halved the recipe and it was delicious for my husband and myself! Goes great with any entree!
The idea of microwaving food to cook is rather disturbing to me (yes, my opinion. Everything else if fine, other than broiling the potatoes at the end adds more crispness.
SO EASY TO MAKE & IT’S DELICIOUS! I live alone so I cut the portion in half. I ate one and saved the other for lunch the next morning. I microwaved it and it still tasted as good as before! Thanks for an amazing recipe for such a simple dish!
Great dish! I used garlic powder and dried chives b/c that’s what I had. Dish was a hit in my home.
So easy to make and they came our great!!!!!!!!!!!!
