Twice-Baked Potato Casserole Tips
What's the quickest way to peel raw potatoes?
The quickest way to peel raw potatoes is to boil them first before peeling. To start, using a knife, make a score line through the skin around the center of each potato. Place your potatoes in boiling water and let them boil until cooked. Place the potatoes in cold water until cool enough to handle, then simply slide the skin off with your fingers.
Can you overbake potatoes?
Yes, you can overbake potatoes! You'll know if they've baked too long if the skin gets wrinkly, the bottoms are charred and the insides appear gummy.
Perfectly baked potatoes usually have an interior temperature of somewhere between 205 and 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Great potato dish! I quarter and boil the potatoes with the skin on. Add the other ingredients and then bake. It saves alot of time.

VickiStein - if you read the directions - first thing is to SCRUB the potatoes, so no peeling there - then once baked you scoop out the potato pulp and discard the shell (skin). If you've ever had potato skins, this would be the something only you're not keep the shell (skin), your baking the potato pulp in a dish, hope that helps :)
My family and I served this at a BBQ, and everyone loved it! At my mom's suggestion, I included ranch dressing mix as well - really added a burst of flavor! I also included a bit more salt than the recipe called for.
Absolutely delicious! Served for Thanksgiving and family loved it!
I'm confused about this recipe. Nowhere does it say to peel the potatoes. Why in the tips does it recommend peeling the potatoes?
Is that 8 medium potatoes or 16 medium potatoes?
We really liked this potato casserole. I made it ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator, and baked it at 350 for about 40 minutes.
This recipe is great for the holidays! It takes a little bit of work up front, but can be prepared in advance and reheated later. Excellent recipe- great combination of flavors.
I served to this guest and it got rave reviews. I assembled it the night before and popped in the oven before guests arrived. Made for a much less stressful day.
