The refrigerator light goes on...
Twice baked potatoes are the ultimate comfort food – a cross between a baked potato and a mashed potato. This version using yams or sweet potatoes is equally good and great for you.
They are a lot easier to make than you might think: simply bake the potato, scoop it out and then stuff with the mashed potatoes. This is a simple version, but you could add a lot of other seasonings – black pepper, sage, tarragon, rosemary, or even a bit of chili powder or smoked paprika.
