Ok people, if I had to chose one word to describe these Twice Baked Potatoes it would be: amazing. I thought I would be eating these alone because Steve isn’t really a potato man – he especially doesn’t like mashed potatoes. He really liked these! Nothing speaks more to my heart than when Steve enjoys something I cook :) I will definitely be making these more often, they were just that good!
