Broccoli & Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes

If you haven’t tried a twice baked potato, you are missing out! These twice baked potatoes are so easy to make and they are packed with flavour! I love making these because you may already have the ingredients on hand. If you don’t have all of the ingredients in your fridge you can leave them out and the potatoes will still taste amazing! The most important ingredients for twice baked potatoes is cheese and butter, which many of us often have in our fridge. I like to add broccoli, bacon and green onions to add even more flavour and texture. The potatoes are creamy, cheesy and salty from the bacon. The green onions and broccoli add a burst of freshness. These twice baked potatoes are quite filling and usually half of a potato is enough per person. You can make these with russet potatoes or Yukon Gold. If you are making them with Yukon Gold, be careful when you are scooping the potatoes out because the skin will be a lot thinner compared to a russet potato. I find the Yukon Gold potatoes have much more flavour and I prefer the texture, it’s more creamy compared to a russet.

These twice baked potatoes are also great to make in advance if you are having a dinner party or bringing a side dish to someone’s house. They can be made in advance and baked in the oven once you are ready to serve.
