I could eat potatoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner – and I have. Mashed Potatoes, Gratin Potatoes, Roasted Potatoes, Potato Salad, French Fries – they are all divine – but the ULTIMATE comforting potatoes – Twice Baked Potatoes!
Twice Baked Potatoes are like crispy, salty potato skins stuffed with a cheesy, creamy mashed potato filling. Does it get any better?
Yes! While Twice Bake Potatoes look and taste like a fancy side, they are actually quite easy to make. They can also be made in stages or pre-made completely because they reheat fabulously well.
This means you can assemble your Twice Baked Potatoes and refrigerate them for up to five days and then just pop them in oven while you’re preparing the rest of dinner OR pull them out of the freezer for an easy dinner side or stress free entertaining dish.
I could devour this Twice Baked Potato recipe as written all day long but the creamy little boats are a vehicle to devour anything you want! You can add anything to the potato filling or pile on your favorite toppings and even make them your clean out-the-fridge vehicle.
You can stuff the crispy boats with spinach, broccoli, chicken, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. or create a toppings bar so everyone can make their favorite Twice Baked Potato.
What are twice baked potatoes?
Twice Baked Potatoes are potatoes that are baked twice at different stages. First, the potatoes are baked until tender. Next, they are sliced in half and the soft insides scooped out, leaving a hollow potato skin shell.
The fluffy inside potato pulp is then mixed with fillings such as butter, milk, sour cream, and cheese to virtually create thick mashed potatoes.
This potato mixture is then scooped back into the potato shell, and topped with more cheese and baked for the second time – earning the name, twice bake potatoes!
Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe ingredients
Let’s take a closer Twice Bake Potatoes are only as good as the filling, and I’ve got you covered with a creamy, cheesy, flavorful mashed potato filling you will be eating by the spoonful!look at what you need to make this recipe (measurements in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post):
The filling mixture is made with:
Best Potatoes for Baked Potatoes
Russet potatoes are the best potatoes for twice baked potatoes because:
• They have a great shape for slicing through the equator
• Half of a Russet potato is the perfect serving size
• Their skins are more sturdy so they hold their shape
• Their skins bake up crispier
• Their interiors mash up creamy instead of gummy
Of course, the filling is completely customizable and a playground for you to customize with your favorite seasonings and add-ins, simply whatever you have on hand or are in the mood for! There are SO many possibilities, I’ve included just a few filling ideas below:
Twice Baked Potato Recipe Variations
How to make Twice Baked Potatoes
Step 1: Prep Potatoes
- Add potatoes to the foil and prick a few times with a fork so they don’t explode.
- Brush potatoes all over with olive oil.
- Sprinkle tops of the potatoes with half of the salt and pepper, rub to evenly distribute, flip and repeat.
Step 2: Bake Potatoes
- Bake potatoes at 400 degrees F for 45-60 minutes OR until fork tender, turning the potatoes once or twice while baking. Larger potatoes may take closer to 75 minutes.
Step 3: Slice Potatoes in Half
- Let potatoes cool 5-10 minutes (do not turn off oven). When cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise.
Step 4: Scoop out insides
- Scoop out most of the inside of the potatoes, leaving ¼” around the top edges and a little bit on the bottom and sides so the skin doesn’t tear. The shells will seem flimsy but will firm up when we roast them and stand up when the filling is added.
Step 5: Roast Shells
- Arrange now empty potato shells back on the baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes. Most recipes skip this step but it is CRUCIAL to help your potato skins firm up and crisp up.
Step 6: Make Filling
- While the potato skins are roasting, make the potato filling. It is crucial to make the filling while the potato insides are still warm, otherwise, you are more likely to get a gummy filling.
- Add all of the potato filling to a large bowl along with butter, sour cream, milk and seasonings. You may need more or less milk depending on the actual amount of potato pulp you extracted.
- Mash filling until smooth (I use a handheld electric mixer).
- Stir in green onions, half of the bacon and ¾ cup cheese. Add additional milk if needed to reach creamy consistency.
Step 7: Fill Potato Shells
- Evenly spoon mashed potato filling back into the potato skins. You may need to press the filling down firmly with the back of a spoon before adding more. I like to slightly mound my filling in the middle, purely for looks.
Step 8: More cheese
- Top the filling with remaining ¾ cup cheese.
Step 9: Bake again
- Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Step 10: Toppings
- Top potatoes with remaining bacon and any desired toppings. Garnish with additional green onions and fresh parsley if desired. Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt for added yum.
How long to cook Twice Baked Potatoes
Twice Baked Potatoes cook twice in the oven – or three times if you count the shells.
- First, bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes or until fork tender.
- While the filling is made, bake the potato shells for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Add filling mixture to potato shells and bake another 15 minutes.
Tips for the perfect Twice Baked Potato

How to store Double Baked Potatoes
How long do cooked potatoes last in the fridge?
• The filled but not twice baked usually occurs if you are intentionally making the Twice Baked Potatoes ahead of time. This way you can omit the cheese on top and just add it when reheating the potatoes for a better cheese consistency.
• Alternatively, you can freeze Twice Baked Potatoes with the cheese that have already been twice baked. This works great for leftovers or if you just want the potatoes completely ready to go.
• Twice Baked Potatoes should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Properly stored Twice Bake Potatoes will keep in the refrigerator for about five days.
• If you think you aren’t going to eat your potatoes by then, you can freeze them instead.
Can I make this Double Baked Potato recipe ahead of time?
Yes! Twice Baked Potatoes taste just as good or better if prepared ahead of time. Reheating the potatoes is a great option for busy weeknights, meal prep or entertaining, or holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas!
All you have to do is pull the potatoes out of the fridge, top with cheese and bake for the second time for a quick and easy side any night of the week!
How To Make Twice Bake Potatoes Ahead of Time
- Fill potatoes with filling but do not top with cheese
- Tightly cover potatoes with foil or store in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- When ready to serve, top potatoes with cheese.
- Bake potatoes at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes OR until heated through and cheese has completely melted.
How to reheat a Twice Baked Potato
Already baked Twice Baked Potatoes (leftovers) keep fabulously well and make great leftover snacks, lunches or heat up sides. I actually think they taste even better the next day as all the filling flavors develop and blend.
You can reheat your Twice Baked Potatoes in the microwave or oven. The microwave is quicker but you won’t get the same crispy sides that the oven gives you – but honestly, I usually don’t have patience for that!
How to reheat Baked Potato in the oven
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place the potatoes on a lightly greased baking sheet.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until completely heated through.
How to reheat a Twice Baked Potato in the microwave
Place potatoes on a microwave-safe plate.
Microwave potatoes, uncovered, on high power for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
Can you freeze baked potatoes?
Yes! The Twice Potatoes can be frozen at two different stages:
1) Filled but not twice baked OR
2) completely assembled and twice baked.
How to freeze a Double Baked Potato
• Cool Twice Baked Potatoes completely or cool filled but not twice bake potatoes completely.
• Place baking tray with potatoes in the freezer and freeze until solid, about 1 hour (omit cheese topping if not twice baked).
• Store potatoes in a freezer safe airtight container/freezer bag or wrap individual potatoes in plastic wrap or foil.
• Freeze potatoes for up to 3 months.
• When ready to eat, thaw potatoes in the fridge for 24 hours.
• Unwrap potatoes, top with cheese (if needed) and place on a baking sheet.
• OVEN: Bake at 350 degrees F until warmed through, about 20-25 minutes OR bake potatoes from frozen for about 1 hour.
• MICROWAVE: Place thawed potatoes on a microwave-safe plate.
Microwave, uncovered, on high power for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
Twice Baked Potatoes Recipe FAQs
Yes! If you need a gluten free side for your family or for entertaining, then stick with this classic Twice Baked Potato Recipe. If you venture into different toppings, you will want to check to see if they are gluten free as well.
Baking potatoes at 400 degrees F (204 degrees Celsius) is optimal for the best textured baked potatoes. The high heat helps to create a crisp outer skin while cooking the interior to a fluffy and tender consistency. Additionally, 400 degrees F ensures that the potatoes cook relatively quickly without drying out or becoming overly mushy. It strikes a good balance between cooking time and achieving the desired results for a perfectly baked potato.
Twice baked potatoes can become sticky if the potatoes aren’t mashed while they’re still hot, or if they are overmixed. The science behind overmixing is simple: when the potatoes are cooked, they develop swollen starch cells. When the potatoes are mixed, the cells are ruptured and release starch. The more cells that are broken, the starchier and sticker the potatoes will become. For the fluffiest potatoes, mix as little as possible.
Yes, the skin of a twice baked potato is one of the most delicious parts! It’s crispy, salty, and contains many health benefits. Potato skins are a good source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, helps maintain bowel regularity, and contributes to a feeling of fullness. The skins also contain nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, and B vitamins. Additionally, potato skins are rich in antioxidants, particularly when they have a darker color. Antioxidants help protect the body from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
How to serve this Twice Baked Potato Recipe
Twice Baked Potatoes can be a meal all in themselves if you top with chicken, beef or pork (see suggestions) or you can serve them as a show stopping side. Some of my favorite main courses to serve them with are:
- Nashville Hot Chicken
- Oven “Fried” Chicken
- Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs
- Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
- Beef Brisket Sandwiches
- Spice Rubbed Steaks with Herb Butter
- Pan Seared Steak with Balsamic Herb Cream Sauce
- Mom’s Pot Roast
- Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches
- Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon
- Thanksgiving Turkey
- Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

Ingredients
Potatoes
Filling
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/3 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dried chives (1 tablespoon fresh)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp EACH paprika, dried dill weed, pepper
- Pinch – ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated cheddar, Monterrey or Gruyere (I like half cheddar, half Gruyere), divided
- 4 oz. (5-6 strips) bacon cooked and chopped, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Add potatoes to foil and prick each one a few times with a fork. Brush potatoes all over with olive oil. Sprinkle tops with half of salt and pepper, rub to evenly distribute, flip and repeat. Bake potatoes at 400 degrees F for 45-60 minutes OR until fork tender (larger potatoes may take 75 minutes), turning the potatoes once or twice during baking.

- Transfer potato shells back to the baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes (so the skins will harden/crisp up).
- Meanwhile, add scooped out potato filling to a large bowl along with butter, milk, sour cream and seasonings. Mash until smooth (I use a handheld electric mixer) then stir in green onions, half of the bacon and ¾ cup cheese. Add additional milk if needed to reach creamy consistency.
- Spoon mashed potatoes back into the potato skins, slightly mounding in the middle. Top with remaining ¾ cup cheese and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Top potatoes with remaining bacon. Garnish with additional green onions and fresh parsley if desired. Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt for added yum.

Notes
Tips for Perfect Twice Baked Potatoes
- Only use Russet potatoes for structure and the fluffiest filling.
- Line you baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Don’t use parchment paper or your potato skins won’t get as crispy.
- Prepare any filling ingredients while your potatoes are baking such as cooking meat, veggies, etc.
- Mix the filling when the potatoes are warm so it doesn’t get gummy.
- For fluffy filling, use a hand mixer but don’t overmix.
- Add milk to filling a little at time because you may need less depending on how much potato pulp was extracted.
- Bake the potato shells while you make the filling for crispier skins– hardly any recipes do this!
- Customize your Twice Baked Potatoes with any of my recipe ideas!

Jen says
Thank you so much Lori for your kind words! I really try and make cooking fun, delicious, and successful for everyone!
Edith says
I love potatoes! The only problem there is no Russet potatoes in Germany. Most of them are a bit sweet or quite sweet and not floury. What other potatoes would be suitable for this dish? Thanks.
Jen says
Hi Edith, the next best would probably be the Yukon gold but I haven’t tried it so I can’t guarantee the level of success. Good luck!
Paddy says
Hi Jen
sorry I havn’t left a review in awhile, as I said before I have medical issues, however I still make all your recipes you made me look like a hero thru the holidays and I have been makein tons of your dishes. Your amazeing!!! if my wife and I ever get out to California I would love to meat you and give you a hug! I just made your twice baked potatoes and being the Irishman that I am I have one question…… is this even legal? they were completely BANGIN!!!! thank you so much for all you do for all of us and for teaching us!
G_D BLESS you & your family
-Paddy
Jen says
Hi Paddy, its so good to hear from you! I’m sorry you deal with medical issues. It sounds like you are incredibly strong and positive and keep pushing on AND are such a supportive husband! I would love to meet you if you and your wife ever make it this way! I’m so happy to hear you’re still enjoying my recipes and they were a hit for the holidays – Happy 2019! And to answer your question – these potatoes are barely legal 🙂 I’m thrilled you loved theme s much! Thanks for cooking my recipes and for brightening my day! God bless you and yours as well!
Mary lou says
How do I change the recipe from metric to imperial?
Jen says
Hi Mary, I’m sorry I don’t have that function on the recipe card.
Emme says
I’d never made or eaten twice baked potatoes before so when I read through the recipe I thought all the talk about crisping the skin was an exaggeration. It is not. Follow the directions. This turned out SO good, I’m sorry my husband was out of town when I made it because there are no leftovers. I’ve bookmarked this and will be making it again with my next produce delivery.
Jen says
Wahoo! I’m thrilled these Twice Baked Potatoes were such a hit without any leftovers – and I’m so glad you did bake the skis to crisp up – it makes them 10X better! Thanks for taking the time to comment Emme!
Albert says
Great recipe. My only suggestion would be add in an additional potato. Scooping the insides out of each half really doesn’t give you enough when you refill the shells. I just cook an extra potato to increase the volume. Otherwise, perfect!
Jen says
Great suggestion, thanks Albert!
Cathy K says
Absolutely love every recipe I have tried. I make a very similar version of these potatoes every Christmas and the family loves them. My son-in-law asked if there was a way to make a breakfast version. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks
Jen says
Thanks for making my recipes Cathy, I’m so happy you’re enjoying them! I would google “breakfast twice baked potatoes” -there’s lots of fun ideas to choose from!
Becki says
I have never made twice baked potatoes before, but my mom orders them out and I wanted spruce up a simple BLT dinner. I totally admit I used your recipe as my muse, but I did my original “bake” using my Express Cooker (Instapot to some). Worked like a charm in a total of 25 minutes. I also used 2 taters, but only made 2 actually shells. I used garlic salt on the outside and a tad on the inside for the 10 minute “hardening” part while I blended my mashed part. Shells came out gorgeous and the 12 minutes was perfect!! My mother was so freaking happy!!! I added a side of cucumber salad and zucchini chips (which I also make myself). In all I had twice baked potatoes in less than an hour!!
Thank you for giving me the muse to create heavenly food that made my momma happy!
Jen says
That’s awesome Becki! I’m so happy your potatoes turned out perfecty!
Sheila K Felton says
Sadly, when I hit “Print Recipe” it took me to the print page, but there was no “Print” button on the print page.
Jen says
Hi Sheila, by default it sounds like your printer is set up to show “save as PDF” when the “print recipe” button is clicked – you will need to change the destination by selecting which printer you would like to use and then the print button will appear.
Shannon Schreiner says
Hi!!
I love all your recipes! This one is a staple (along with the au gratin)!! When you say the inside could get “gummy” so mix the potato and ingredients while warm… I’m wondering if it turns gummy from being too hot or getting too cold before mixing the ingredients!? I don’t want to mess this up and I wonder every time!!
Thanks!
Jen says
Thanks for your awesome comment Shannon, I’m so pleased these are a repeat favorite! The filling can become gummy if the ingredients are cold so that is why you want to mix while warm. I hope this helps!
Nancy McDougall says
I rarely. respond to a request for feedback regarding recipes on line, as I change things, or.don’t, and am generally underwhelmed by the results. That said, big applause all round here. I would change nothing. The instructions are crystal clear and rich with embellishments, for those who need them. I had a recipe from the New York Times supplement that I long ago lost. This discovery is a happy surprise, so thank you a million times, especially for the tip on baking the shells prior to stuffing.
Jen says
Thank you for your awesome review Nancy! I am so pleased you loved the recipe and found it fool proof!
Rhonda says
If you make these ahead, do you mix insides up and bake, or mix insides and put in frig , then bake when ready to serve, with cheese on top.
Jen says
You will bake when ready to serve:
Fill potatoes with filling but do not top with cheese
Tightly cover potatoes with foil or store in an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
When ready to serve, top potatoes with cheese.
Bake potatoes at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes OR until heated through and cheese has completely melted.
Kat says

You have brought the joy of cooking back into my life. I was incredibly bored with food until I found your website. These potatoes are delicious. My husband is a boring/bland food eater and he raved about these. This is a keeper….bless your cooking guru heart.
Jen says
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment, Kate! I am so glad this recipe is a keeper! Thank you so much for the high praise, I hope you have a wonderful week and find more recipes to enjoy!
Amanda MartinJohnsin says
These were a hit last night with steaks and shrimp. I add a jalapeño, diced very small and use smoked gouda with bacon cheese! Will definitely be making again. Thank you
Jen says
Thank you so much, Amanda, I am so happy these were a hit! Your additions sound delicious!
Alicia says
I have made these with small new potatoes to use as appetizers. So 2 bites. Good for tailgating and cocktail parties.
Jen says
What a great idea! Thanks for taking the time to share!
