Directions
Make-Ahead Twice-Baked Potatoes,These twice baked potatoes are great to keep in the freezer for busy days or unexpected company! When baking potatoes are on special, I buy a 10-15 pound bag and make about 30-35 of these creamy, delicious potatoes for the freezer. A wonderful side dish with steaks, roasts, seafood, pork and meatloaf. For variety, sprinkle top of potatoes with real bacon pieces just before serving. To have a meatless lunch, I often heat one of these potatoes in the microwave or toaster oven.,Is it okay to cook the potatoes (1 1/2 hours) the day before then store it in the fridge and make the rest the next day?,If you want to make ahead but not months, how long can baked potato be refrigerated? Or do you go ahead and freeze if its 3-4 days?
