Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, rinse the white beans under cold water and drain them.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the white beans until smooth.
- When the potatoes are finished baking, let them cool for about 10 minutes so they are easier to handle.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a small border around the edge to maintain the shape of the potato skins, and add it to the bowl of mashed beans.
- Add the milk, garlic powder, salt, diced onion, diced red pepper, paprika, and a dash of black pepper to the potato and bean mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and creamy.
- Spoon the filling mixture back into the potato skins, pressing it down gently to fill all the space. You can create a nice mound on top for a fuller appearance.
- Place the filled potato halves back onto the baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the stuffed potatoes cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or a main course.
Tips:
- For an extra creamy filling, use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
- Feel free to add some shredded cheese or cooked bacon bits to the potato mixture for additional flavor.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the milk with a plant-based milk and ensure the spices are free from animal products.
- Make sure to prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Try using different types of beans or adding other vegetables like spinach or broccoli to customize the recipe.
Once you've completed these steps, you'll have a batch of delicious and creamy twice baked potatoes ready to serve. Whether you're making them for a family dinner, a special occasion, or just a comforting side dish, this recipe is sure to impress. Enjoy the rich flavors and smooth texture of this classic dish.
