Easy Mashed Potato Recipe

Simple Mashed Potatoes – Twice Baked Mashed Potatoes

Some years ago, I discovered this Twice-Baked Mashed Potato recipe, on Allrecipes.  I had only heard of twice-baked potatoes.  Ever since the first time I prepared this recipe, it has been a family favorite.   I do not make it very often but when I do everyone is always asking for more.  

The recipe is very easy to follow.  I love that I am using mashed potatoes because I am not a fan of potato skins when I have twice-baked potatoes.

Twice-Baked Mashed Potatoes recipe.

This is an easy recipe that people enjoy.  I have made if for my family and taken it to potlucks.
