Twice Baked Loaded Potatoes

I love baked potatoes fully loaded with butter and sour cream, sprinkled with cheese and chives and don’t forget the bacon bits. Yummmm! While many think of baked potatoes as a side dish I like to think of them as the main course and in fact we often eat just loaded baked potatoes as dinner. The only thing better than baked potatoes with all the fixin’s are twice baked loaded potatoes!

Twice Baked Loaded Potatoes are so delicious you will never bake your potaotes just one time ever again
