Twice Baked Pepper Stuffed Potatoes

If you like your food with a bit of a kick, this recipe for Twice Baked Pepper Stuffed Potatoes is for you! For me, I’m all about the spicy food as long as I have a glass of water nearby. There’s nothing worse than a bland meal with no discernible flavour. If you prefer less of a bite, decrease the spice amounts by half.

Twice Baked Pepper Stuffed Potatoes

The little bit of extra prep work is well worth it. The potatoes need to bake in the oven for 1 hour. This step does the majority of the baking process and is necessary so the insides are soft enough to scoop out for the second half of the recipe.

Be very careful when scooping out the insides to make your potato shell. I like to use baking potatoes because I find them easier to work with and the skin seems tougher than the other varieties.

If you prefer a smoother, creamier filling, use a mixer to whip the potatoes. I didn’t bother with this step because I wanted to get them on the table to eat faster.

They are spicy, creamy and loaded with delicious flavour. Serve as a side dish with steak or grilled chicken for a hearty meal.
