Spicy Smoked Gouda Twice-Baked Potatoes

步骤1

PREHEAT the oven to 400°F.

步骤2

PLACE the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack and bake until knife tender, fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside, 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Turn the broiler to high.

Step 3

MEANWHILE, stir together 2 cups of the Gouda, the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, green onion, and paprika in a large bowl.

Step 4

WHEN the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise, scoop out the fluffy insides, and carefully transfer them to the Gouda mixture. Fold gently to combine.

Step 5

LAY the empty potato skins on a rimmed baking sheet and evenly distribute the potato filling among the skins, so they are almost overflowing with filling. Top each potato with a generous sprinkling of the remaining shredded Gouda.

Step 6

BROIL the potatoes until the cheese is melty and gooey, about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on them so the cheese doesn’t burn. Garnish with more green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
