Introduction:

This classic dish gets a delightful twist in today's recipe as we delve into Ree Drummond's version of twice-baked potatoes. Ree, also known as The Pioneer Woman, brings her signature flair to this beloved dish, elevating it to new heights of flavor and texture. Follow along as we embark on a culinary journey to create Ree's Twice-Baked Potatoes – a dish that's sure to become a staple in your repertoire.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Scrub the potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  3. Using a fork, pierce each potato several times on all sides. This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents the potatoes from bursting.

  4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

  5. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle.

  6. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer attached to the skin to maintain its structure.

  7. Place the potato flesh in a large mixing bowl. Add the softened butter, sour cream, and milk. Mash the mixture together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions until well combined.

  9. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.

  10. Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese on top of each filled potato for an extra cheesy finish.

  11. Place the filled potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven.

  12. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are lightly golden brown.

  13. Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

  14. Garnish with additional sliced green onions, if desired, and serve hot as a delicious side dish or a satisfying main course.

Conclusion: Ree's Twice-Baked Potatoes are the ultimate comfort food with a delightful twist. Creamy mashed potatoes loaded with cheese, bacon, and green onions, baked until golden and bubbly – what's not to love? Whether you're serving them as a side dish for a family dinner or enjoying them as a cozy meal all on their own, these potatoes are sure to be a hit. So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try for a taste of comfort food perfectio
