What's on your baked potato?

Gosh, they were soo popular there for a while. I took them to work for a potluck a couple of years ago, and that's the last time I've seen or heard about them.

I should make them for happy hour. 🥔🍺

I know! They seem to have disappeared from restaurant menus. I would think it would be a cost effective appetizer to serve. Scoop out most of the potato for mashed potatoes and use the skin with a dollop of sour cream and chives for the appetizer. Win, win!

They were all the rage in the mid 70s - 80s, weren't they?
 
Usually I just put on butter, sour cream and salt and pepper.
However, occasionally, I enjoy something different: Scoop out all of potato and mix with cheddar cheese and crumpled bacon bits. Mix well, spoon back into potato skin and back into oven for 20 minutes.

My mom made potatoes like that. Weren't they called twice baked potatoes?

This was called a Twice-baked potato in my house. It was a favorite of mine for company as most of the work could be done early and just slid back in at last minute for browning.

Now that chicken wings and other items are so expensive a revival of potato skins is a great idea.

Be sure to save the innards for a twice baked potato casserole or breakfast home fries. 🐷
