These easy twice-baked potatoes get their creamy texture from a rich cream cheese filling. Double the recipe if you're having guests over or want leftovers.
My kids loved these but I did make some minor adjustments. I "baked" my potatoes in the microwave instead of the oven. Once scooped I sprayed the potato skins with cooking spray so they would crisp a little when later baking. I needed to add more milk than what was called for to get a creamy and fluffy consistency. I just added milk a little at a time until the consistency was correct. I also salted to taste.
Read MoreI followed the recipe exactly with the exception of a sprinkling of about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top of each. Sure the filling is creamy, but the taste is about the same as if you added all of those ingredients to a once-baked potato. I'm not sure it's worth the extra effort.

These were SO good! I was licking the bowl and couldn't stop snacking on the filling. I baked 4 potatoes, took out the filling of all 4, but only used 2 potatoes to fill back up (so that the filling would be nice and thick, piled up high!) I also threw in a small handful of sharp cheddar cheese after mixing it together. Oh, I completely forgot to add the butter...it doesn't even need it! It's so rich from the cream cheese you won't miss it! You could add additional toppings like bacon and sour cream if you want to go the extra mile, but again, it doesn't even need it! Tasty!
I made these substituting heavy cream for milk (I had some leftover that I needed to use) and Mascarpone cheese for cream cheeese (again, it's what I had on hand). Simple, easy to make, and absolutely delicious. I love that you don't need a lot of ingredients to make something to incredibly good.
I believe these were the best twice baked potatoes I've ever had. I did modify them slightly by adding two cups of shredded cheddar (I made four potatoes though) and I used the entire thing of cream cheese (8oz) instead of the 6oz that it would be for doubling the recipe. I also know I used more than two Tbsp of milk, probably more like four. I then topped the potatoes with some shredded cheddar and baked. They were so amazing! We have tried so many twice baked potato recipes and this one is the winner!!!

This was a fantastic recipe for baked potatoes!! I had already used all my cream cheese to make cheesecake so I had to add more milk to make it creamy, about 1/2 cup total. Also for some extreme flavor I added 1 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of parsley. I baked 4 potatoes so I can have really full potato skins, but I was still able to have enough remaining over to use as a side for next day dinner menu. Added some shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream and scallions to the top with some steak gravy. Delicious!!
These were delicious! I only made two, so I microwaved them and followed the recipe exactly after that. It seems that the serving size is off...one nice size baking potato is good for two people. Thanks for the great recipe!
Made 12 instead of 2. Used 10 tablespoons of butter, 6 tablespoons of milk, 1 tsp of salt, 16 ounces of cream cheese, 10 tablespoons of sour cream and topped with cheddar cheese
Was very easy and tasted really Good. I added parmesan cheese to top instead of paprika
I was visiting my sister in Ohio and my niece wanted to make something. We chose this recipe and it turned out wonderfully delicious. Everyone loved them!
I made these tonight for supper. Had my daughter and grand daughter (2 years old) over for dinner and thought that I'd make these. I added some real bacon bits to the potato mixture before putting them into the oven.....I was told that these were excellent. I'd make this again, for sure.
I couldn’t have done this without the help of my incredible cousin and Steven Spielberg.
Great potatoes, been requested every time I host!,
I love stuffed potatoes and this one did not disappoint! The cream cheese made them creamy and rich! I will be making them again.
A different approach to twice baked potatoes. Since I only needed potatoes for two people this recipe was great. I did add shredded mild cheddar cheese.
This is a terrific recipe. I add a pinch of white pepper and grated white cheddar to the mixture.
Simple and delicious. I rubbed the skin down with olive oil and sea salt for a crispy shell.
Great recipe. Only thing I did differently was add a few finely chopped green onion and then only the onion close to the chives. There was just a hint of the flavor. Was afraid someone might not like the onion part.
Everytime I make these I great rave reviews - I think it's the cream cheese - these are great!
The potatoes were good, but a bit on the bland side. Next time I would like to add some bacon and cheddar cheese on top. It seemed like potatoes stuffed with regular mashed potatoes. It is a perfect recipe for people that like their food bland.
These are fantastic! Easy and tasty! I used my stand mixer to mix everything together. I was pleasantly surprised that the only cheese in them was cream cheese. This is definitely a new favorite with my family! Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Delicious. Added a tad more milk to help get a creamier texture. Topped them bacon bits and cheddar cheese before baking them the second time. Garnished with green onions/scallions prior to serving. They were a big hit and everyone loved them.
This recipe was easy and delicious. I added fresh chives and finely chopped fresh broccoli into the blended mixture and twice baked the potatoes this way. This recipe was such a great way to have a potato side dish with just about any dinner.
Happy to see a recipe that actually bakes the potato! Most steam it in the microwave or wrap in foil. I make twice baked often and add green onions or diced onion to the recipe. Awesome!!
These were very good and very simple to make. My only change was to use cream cheese with chive spread in place of the cream cheese and I used more milk until it reached my desired consistency.
These were not only easy to make, they had a wonderful flavor! I added minced bacon and a tsp of shredded cheddar right at the end of baking them. Great appearance and flavor!
Loved this recipe. I don't normally use cream cheese in twice baked but it was a nice addition. Thank you for posting the recipe!
This is the best twice baked potato recipe I have ever tried. The one thing I changed was added more cream cheese. Fabulous.
The boys and I loved it, will make again. My oldest asked how long did it take to make these, and I told him, about 2hrs., he said well worth the wait! I just smiled.
Made this Sunday and was impressed. This will be the baked potato of choice in our house.
I followed the recipe exactly except for using smaller potatoes than the large baking ones. These were creamy, with a rich flavor. I’ve made mashed potatoes before with butter, cream cheese, and sour cream added in. Putting the mixture back in the shell and sprinkling with paprika makes it a little fancier...company worthy.
This was very good. So creamy and filling. Had to add more time to cook the potato. Seeing the other comments about using microwave would work as well. I never thought about adding cream cheese into mashed potatoes, but after eating this, I will for sure do it more often.
