Simple Twice-Baked Potato Recipe With Cream Cheese & Parmesan | Side Dishes | 30Seconds Food

Twice-baked potatoes make a great appetizer or side dish for dinner. This easy potato dish can be made in so many ways! This twice-baked potato recipe has a creamy cream cheese-based filling instead of the typical cheddar cheese, bacon and green onion combination that you often see. Start by baking russet potatoes until fork-tender, which takes about an hour in the oven. After the flesh is carefully removed to leave a potato skin shell, it is mixed with cream cheese, butter, Parmesan cheese, sour cream and an egg. The creamy filling is spooned back into the potato skins and they are baked in the oven until hot and melty. Try different cheeses in this recipe instead of the Parmesan. Interesting choices are pepper-jack, gouda, mozzarella and Gruyere. For color, you could add some chopped green onions, minced fresh chives or chopped fresh parsley or other herbs. If you need some meat, stir in some cooked, crispy bacon. For a vegetable addition, try cooked mushrooms or spinach. You could easily cut this recipe in half to serve four. Store the leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the potatoes in the microwave for a quick snack.
