Bacon Chipotle Twice Baked Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Position racks in the top and middle of the oven, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke holes all over them with a fork. In a large bowl, toss them with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes directly on the top rack, and place a baking sheet or a piece of foil on the middle rack to catch drips. Bake for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Slice the top third lengthwise off the potatoes. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch border of potato on the skin, and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Scrape the potato tops of all flesh, and add the flesh to the bowl. Place the bottoms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Snack on the tops - chef's treat - or discard.)
• Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, and stir until smooth (try not to overwork). Add the milk, sour cream and cheese and stir to combine. (If you want the filling softer, add more milk.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, if using.
• Mound each potato skin with a quarter of the filling. Bake the potatoes until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
• Bake for another 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat about 10 minutes or until crisp. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to cool; crumble into small pieces.
• Drain most of drippings from skillet (don't wipe out skillet); return skillet to stovetop over medium heat. In large bowl, toss chicken with ranch seasoning and 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder. Transfer chicken to skillet; chicken 10 to 12 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
• Place boats on cookie sheet. Divide chicken mixture evenly among boats. Top with shredded cheese.
• Bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and boats are lightly toasted. Top with crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, red onion and cilantro.
• In small bowl, mix Chipotle Ranch Dressing ingredients. Drizzle over tacos just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Poke a few holes into each potato using a toothpick.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until fully cooked, about 1 hour. Cool for about 15 minutes.
• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.
• Cut a thin slice from one side of each potato; carefully scoop out the flesh and transfer to a bowl. Discard skins. Mix 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, milk, butter, chives, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder with potatoes. Spread potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish; top with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out centers into medium bowl, leaving 1/8-inch-thick shells.

• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until heated through.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450°. 2. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Bake potatoes at 450° for 50 minutes or until done; cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Combine potato pulp, milk, 3/4 cup cheese and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. 3. Spoon potato mixture evenly into 10 shells; discarding remaining 2 shells. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese evenly over potatoes. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
