Why are they called twice baked potatoes?
Because they’ve actually been cooked twice. They are first baked whole, and the potato filling is frequently combined with or garnished with shredded cheese, green onions, or other delectable flavors. You re-cook the stuffed potato shells with the mashed potatoes.
