Twice Baked Potato
Twice Baked Potato!
Well I am on an adventure that I believe is going to change my life for the better. As of March 10th I will officially be a part of the Slim Down for Summer Challenge sponsored by Working Women of Tampa Bay. So this week in keeping the same train of thought as most people, I had to get my splurge on! For the next 3 months I will be completely and totally dedicated to winning this challenge. Oh, did I mention that the person with the highest percentage of weight lose win a Beach Getaway valued at $500 and a $200 spa gift certificate from Advanced Aesthetics and a Spice Session valued at $300. The grand prize is a NEW YOU. Did I hear motivation! So the race is on. I will miss very much these potatoes but while I am off eating veggie sandwiches and Tofu I will leave you with this wonderful recipe.
Just kidding, I don’t like tofu very much and as promised I will keep you informed on my exercise plan and new way of eating. I hope that you join me. Who wants to carry around those extra pounds this summer. I don’t although I have a very long way to go, I am planning on melting away as many pounds as possible before the 100+ degree heat INVADES Florida.
Twice Baked Potatoes
Bake 4 large Baking potatoes at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool and follow these easy step-by-step photo instructions
Remove the inside of the potato from the skin with a spoon. Be care not to tear the skin.
To my bowl I have added 3/4 cup grated white cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, a handful of chives chopped finely, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
After all the ingredients have been mixed well together, scoop mixture back into potato skins and bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the potatoes and nicely browned.
Top with sour cream and a few chives and serve! There’s one toppings I didn’t add to this potato~BACON!! Maybe next time. Enjoy
Hi there! I found your blog through Florida Foodies on FBF! Your blog is just lovely, and you have the most amazing photos. Sorry to hear about your camera. I just came through my own year long camera crisis. I had been “borrowing” my 10 yr old’s camera. I finally got a new camera….it’s a point & shoot (sony cybershot), but I love it!! A DSLR isn’t in the budget right now, and it’s great to have a camera all my very own again.
These potatoes look so tasty! I also use Daisy sour cream…I love your quality ingredients. I like using full fat…don’t like what they add in when they take fat out. Fat is not the enemy, it’s taking in more calories than burning. I love it when I “meet” like-minded foodies.
OMG, I hear you. I am not a believer of remove the fat add artificial, I just haven’t wrapped my mind around that concept yet. I love taking photos, before I started blogging I never knew that food come come alive so much through a lens. I just checked out your page and the pictures are beautiful, you are working the point and shoot…. you go girl!
I am so happy to hear among the other 1600 people that FBF is giving away a camera every month. I know I will be tuned in for a chance to win!
Those look amazing. If only they didn’t make me crash like a ton of bricks.
