TWICE BAKED FETA TOMATO POTATOES
Potatoes or pasta rank second on my list of favorites. My love of potatoes began at an early age, growing up, my mother served some form of potatoes almost daily. We would joke about it; it wasn’t ‘are we having potatoes?’, it was more like ‘what kind of potatoes are we having?’ Baked potatoes were my favorite answer to that question. I’d slather on almost a whole stick of butter on mine. (I know you’re thinking you have the wrong Paula using that amount of butter, right?)
This recipe is easy to make and filling. Additionally, you can add veggies like onion, spinach, peppers, and avocado to give the dish more nutrients and vibrant color.
This recipe is for four potatoes and can serve four to eight people, and it can easily be reduced in half. (I allow a whole potato for a meal or half if serving as a side.)
How do I make a Twice Baked Potato?
First, you bake it once. Then, scoop the inside flesh out of the potato leaving the skin solid. Next, you’ll mix the flesh with yummy ingredients. For this recipe, you’ll milk, butter, feta, garlic, and tomatoes.
Finally, you refill the potato with the potato mixture and bake it again.
They’re simple to make but looks like you made a fuss. This is why they’re so good for entertaining.
How do I freeze baked potatoes?
Prepare the potatoes as directed below except omit adding the tomatoes. Next, wrap each boat tightly in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped potatoes in resealable freezer bags and place them in the freezer for up to three months.
They will keep for three months in the freezer.
When you’re ready to eat them, allow them to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. You can then bake them for 30 minutes at 350°. As well, you can remove the foil and wrap them in plastic wrap and reheat them in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes.
Finally, add the tomatoes and Everything Bagel seasoning and serve.
I often reduce my prep time by microwaving potatoes instead of baking them. Yes, I have a fool-proof way of microwaving potatoes that’s just as good as baked! Get it here> Best Microwave Baked Potato
