Twice Baked Loaded Potatoes are a comforting, hearty, and cheesy side dish. What is better than creamy mashed potatoes? Potatoes with bacon, cheese, and green onions are even better. Nevertheless, these little spuds are loaded with flavor. This dish disappears at dinner parties or BBQs. Indeed, it is a family favorite side dish. Not to mention, they immediately upgrade any dinner to a more elegant and decadent meal. Needless to say this pairs extremely well with steak or hamburgers. Any meal that goes with potatoes goes with Twice Baked.Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice Baked Loaded Potatoes:

At any rate, I will let you in on a little secret. Believe it or not, when I was little I didn’t care for potatoes. Why didn’t I like potatoes? Because I grew up in Idaho and we had potatoes for almost every meal. Incidentally, if you are not from the USA then you may not be aware Idaho is famous for potatoes. As a matter of fact, there is a Potato Museum in Pocatello, ID. Indeed, if you ever get visit the Panhandle of Idaho I highly recommend it. Almost like when I lived in Japan and had rice for almost every meal. However, as I grew up I loved them.

Taters as some in Idaho called the are a versatile lunch or side dish. Amazon has potato mashers if you are in the market for one.
