These twice-baked potatoes are arguably everyone’s favorite side dish for holiday parties. They offer the most satisfying bite of crispy potato skins stuffed with a creamy, cheesy potato filling, dotted with crispy bacon bits and fresh chives.
Although the classic baked potato is always a solid option, there’s something special about these twice-baked potatoes. I may be biased because of my love for mashed potatoes and cheesy potato skins, but the mashed filling mixed with all the toppings creates a whole new experience that’s the best of both worlds and extra indulgent (which is certainly holiday appropriate). And speaking from personal experience based on how quickly they disappear at my family’s Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, I’m confident your whole family will love them as well!

Omg, these are soooo good!! I definitely polished off more than one after filming. 🤣 What are some more of your favorite side dishes? Have you tried my scalloped potatoes? That's another cheesy, creamy one that I love! You can find it here: https://downshiftology.com/recipes/scalloped-potatoes/ xo – Lisa
What can i use instead of bacon or turkey bacon?
gosh that looks so good 😮
I’ll be making it without the bacon as I’m vegetarian.
I believe by poking them makes them cook more evenly. Maybe cooking them at higher temps may make them explode, IDK. Its never happened to me either
You made me hungry for it. 😂
Was just thinking of getting a veggie brush. Thank you!
Can you make them ahead of time and put them in the freezer? Have you tried that?
Loved twice baked potatoes bacon-free. 🤎🥔
To save on meat prices, i want to make 2 dinners per week vegetarian, so this will be great and filling. YES I POKE MY POTATOES.
Oh how I love potatoes ❤
The orange color of cheddar cheese is from annatto. It is from the seeds of the achiote tree which grows in the tropics.
We call this recipe “kumpir” in Turkey and I really love it . We may add also mayonnaise, ketchup, and olives , corn , etc …
so delicious!
I thought potatoes were poked if cooked in the microwave.
Thank you.
Love everyone of your recipes. Thank you!!!
Do you know you are gorgeous? And your recipes are awesome too.
Years ago i had baked potato pop it’s skin off in the oven which made a small mess, so yes they can “blow up”. But unlikely
Great recipe👍Thank you for sharing🌈✨🥰
Lisa, I’m sad that you’ve never made a persian recipe. 😢
I thought you only had to poke potatoes when you were microwaving them. I’ve never done it when cooking in the oven.
Gurllll I am SOLD! These are getting made this weekend
