There is something so wonderfully warm, comforting and filling about a baked potato! They are the perfect accompaniment to meatloaf on a chilly, winter day. You can eat your potatoes in a simple fashion...with butter, sour cream and some Wildtree Garlic Galore. Or you can dress them up by twice baking them. There are infinite combinations to create twice baked potatoes ~ here are a few to enjoy.

Twice Baked Potatoes
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 russet potatoes
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 tablespoons Wildtree Red Bell Pepper & Garlic Blend
2 tablespoons scallions, diced
½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse the potatoes and poke each a few times with a fork. Bake for about 1 hour or until knife tender. When cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides and place into a bowl. Leave about ¼ inch thick “shell” for the potatoes. Places shells back onto the baking sheet.
Mash potatoes in the bowl to desired consistency. Add in ¼ cup cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt, Red Bell Pepper & Garlic Blend, melted butter, scallion, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper; stir to combine. Divide filling among potato skins. Top with remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese.
Happy, healthy cooking!
