Twice Baked Potatoes!

From scratch! (well, as "from scratch" as you get with potatoes) Ooohhh Ahhhh

Tonight's dinner was Quorn Chik'n Breasts, Green Beans and Twice Baked Potatoes. (From Scratch! OOohhhh AAAhhhhh)
















I kinda overdid the Chik'n but it was still yummy. I'm not sure if I talked about the Quorn products on here before so I will now. They rock. They aren't soy, they are some kind of mushroom protein thing. They really do freaking rock, and I'm in mourning that they don't carry the Quorn hotdogs in the USA anymore; because, they are the only vegetarian hotdog that doesn't taste like eating playdough and, as such, are the only vegetarian hotdog that doesn't make me gag.

Onto the potatoes....

Twice Baked Potatoes (From Scratch! Oooooh Aaahhhh)

You will need:
3-4 potatoes
sour cream
cream cheese
cheddar cheese shreds
milk
salt/pepper

The problem with this recipe is that I don't measure the ingredients so you'll have to play with it to find out how you enjoy it the best.

Now, you can be all 1950's about it and bake the potatoes at 400F for an hour like my mom does OR you can come up to speed and nuke them in the microwave for about 9-10minutes. Let them cool before you move on.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Slice the nuked (or baked) potates and scoop the insides into a bowl but leave about half an inch of insides there so that it doesn't lose structure. I always sacrifice one potato to be strictly for inside stuff, you might want to do that too.

In the same bowl, toss in about oh, I dunno, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sour cream, a handful of cheese shreds and a splash of milk. Use a hand mixer to mix until creamy. Toss in a pinch of salt and pepper and mix again just to make sure there are no lumps.

Scoop the potato mixture back into the hollowed out potatoes, put on a cookie sheet that was lightly greased with olive oil... toss in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the tops are golden-brown.

Serve and get all the "ooohs and aaahhs" that you did this by yourself instead of using some lame ass frozen version.
