Smoked Twice Baked Potatoes
If you’ve ever had a twice baked potato at a steak house, you know how special these spuds can be. Add some smoke to that equation, and you’ve officially met my favorite side dish. We took the best parts of the Smoked Baked Potato (the salty, crispy skin) and all the bacon, cheese and sour cream goodness of our Loaded Potato Skins and made a twice baked potato conglomeration that some of your family might just want to make into their whole meal.
