How To Make Clara's Twice Baked Potatoes

Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, Clara would prepare her famous Twice Baked Potatoes.

They were a real crowd pleaser and quickly devoured. No leftovers of this delicious dish!

Baked Potatoes are a nice simple side, but the fluffiness inside and crispy outside of a Twice Baked Potato is so much better.

Please enjoy this treat at your next Holiday Dinner or anytime in between!


What You'll Need Serves 5

5 Potatoes
7 tbs butter
Paprika
Salt


How To Make Them


*Pre-heat oven to 375. ​

*Wash and dry the Potatoes.

*Rub approximately 2 tbs butter over the skins of the Potatoes.

*Put Potatoes on a cooking sheet and let bake for about 90 minutes.

*Stick the potatoes with a fork, if it goes in easily, they're ready. ​

*Pull the potatoes out and let cool for about 20 minutes.

Carefully remove the top third of the potato with a knife.

*Scrape the potato off the skin of the potato tops and save in a medium size bowl.

​ *Scoop the rest of the potato into the bowl, careful not to break the potato skins.


​ *While still warm, add 5 tbs butter, a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and mash the potatoes with a fork.

*When properly mashed fill the potatoes back into the skins.

*Sprinkle a little paprika on each.



Set oven to broil.

Broil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until the tops are a golden brown color.





Serve and Enjoy!

Couscous, A Brand New Episode!

This is an old Bonfanti favorite (my father Giuseppe Bonfanti especially). The recipe comes all the way from Tunis, Africa. I hope you enjoy it.
