Very good when I'm looking for cheesy potatoes. In a pinch, I use real bacon bits.

I've made these for years but I used instant mashed potatoes since that's usually what I keep on hand anyway

Not dry like many twice baked potato dishes are. I left out the onions. It needed a little more flavor so I added a teaspoon of onion salt.

Pretty good potato recipe. Next time I might try cooking the onions with the bacon like a previous reviewer did.

Made these for Thanksgiving dinner to mix things up a bit. Was a hit with everyone including my college girl and her boyfriend who only got to see the picture. Will definitely make more often....

That's supposed to be 5 star! Can't change it. Made this last night & it is yummy. Halved the recipe for the 2 of us, couldn't wait for company. Cooked the onion with the bacon. Also added a bit of green onion for colour. Will make again.

I can see making this with Roast Beef, Carrotsand Onion Soup Mix some how... to make it a Roast Beef Doubled-Baked Mashed Potatoes. And, maybe a salad on the side.

These were fantastic! A great alternative to gravy. I used green onions for a milder onion flavor.
