I can't count the times I've turned to this tried-and-true recipe when company is coming. The potato filling is creamy and rich tasting, plus the servings are attractive. But the best part is you can spare yourself the hassle of mashing potatoes at the last minute.

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 1-1/4 hours + cooling Bake: 35 min.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

    These eye-appealing potatoes make diners go ooh & aah! And they taste as good as they look. This recipe makes the easiest twice-baked potatoes I've ever tried, and now I think my family would be disappointed if I made them any other way.
