Featured Recipe: Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes
This steakhouse favorite is considered a side dish in a restaurant but our recipe for Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes makes a filling entree. As we get older (read rounder), we don't need a steak to go with the loaded baked potato.
But is it realistic for a regular weeknight? Yep. You can make our Overstuffed Twice-Baked Potatoes in under 25 minutes. Well, that is, with a couple of tricks.
You need a stash of already-baked potatoes on hand. (Click here for our favorite high-heat technique.) And why not bake a bunch since you're heating up the oven anyway? Makes sense to us!
These potatoes are fairly flexible and can be stuffed with any type of potato topping -- chopped broccoli, ham and various cheeses are always welcomed.
Our recipe is reminiscent of twice-baked potatoes from Alicia’s childhood but that version was banned some years ago due to a high fat content. This slightly slimmed-down version makes a worthy light dinner – and we’re not kidding about the name “overstuffed”!

When we make our Perfect Baked Potatoes, we often bake extras just to use in this soup. We like ours sinfully loaded, but without all of the extras, it’s a low-calorie meal.
