Twice-baked potatoes are one of my husband’s favorite side dishes. I also love it. He loves it for the taste. I love it because I can make them in advance. Plus, they’re pretty easy to make.

I tested out a bunch of different stuffing options. The key to the perfect, creamy stuffing is using both cream cheese and sour cream. We like the mix of sharp and mild cheddar, but you can stick with one or the other if you prefer.

If you want to make them in advance, complete everything but the final cooking. Then store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Then cook the final 20 minutes. They turn out perfectly!

This close-up is actually my favorite picture of the potatoes! I don’t know why…probably because I know how delicious they taste. And this picture makes me feel like I’m about to get a bite of them.

If the chicken in the background looks good, check out Chicken with Bacon Mushroom Cream Sauce. In the picture at the very top of this post, you can also see Sweet & Spicy Pork Chops and Baked Zucchini Parmesan Sticks.

      They were two separate posts in the e-mail I sent. You had to click on them separately. You can find the Baked Parmesan Zucchini Sticks at: https://www.thehousewifemodern.com/blog/baked-zucchini-parmesan-sticks/
      Glad you enjoy the planner!
