Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes

These Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes may be one of my greatest comfort food recipe creations of all time.

They could be a yummy game day snack, a side dish, or even served on their own as dinner.

These were our dinner last night and I’m sure the leftovers will be just as creamy, cheesy, and decadent as they were last night!

How to make Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice baked potatoes are, well…baked twice.

The first time around I coated four Russet baking potatoes with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.

Then baked them in a 400 degree oven for one hour.

Trust me, you don’t want to skip the kosher salt and pepper because it makes the skin when eating these extra good.

My husband said his favorite part was the crisp, salty potato skin.

Once they are cooled slightly, cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the potato.

Put the potato that you scooped into a bowl and place the skins on a lined baking sheet.

The first step to making the filling is adding cream cheese, sour cream, kosher salt, and pepper to the bowl with the potato that was scooped out.

Then, using a potato masher or a hand blender, mash until evenly mixed.

Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Then, using a spoon gently stir in some chopped jalapenos, cooked bacon crumbles, and lots of cheesy goodness.

And fill the potato skins with this scrumptious mixture.

Yes, go ahead and sample some as you fill the potato skins.

My husband basically scraped the bowl clean like he was eating cookie dough 😉

Now for the second round of baking…back into the 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.
