Here’s the recipe for Calhoun’s Twice-Baked Potatoes…
Ingredients
- 7 large baked potatoes (450 for 1 hr)
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (8 oz) bottle ranch dressing (can use lite)
- 8 ounces grated cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces bacon bits (can omit)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (can omit)
Topping
- 2 cups corn flake crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Directions
- Cut baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp
- Place pulp and 1 stick melted butter in food processor with blade attachment or in mixing bowl with paddle attachment (can mash by hand with large fork)
- Mix until pulp is smooth with only a few lumps
- Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Do not over mix
- Spread evenly into 9 x 13 in casserole dish using rubber spatula
- Mix cornflake crumbs and butter. Spread evenly on top.
- Cover and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Uncover and cook additional 5 minutes (I think this needs to be longer — maybe 10-15 min)
Yield: 10-12 servings
Potatoes can be baked ahead and refrigerate them, but pulp comes out easier when slightly warm.
