Twice Baked Potatoes

I've been wanting to make twice baked potatoes for a long time. I've attempted before...around 5 years ago and failed miserably. But cooking has been a learning experience for me and I was ready to try again. This time I used a trusted source (Thank you thank you thank you PDub!) and executed it perfectly! I loved these. Loved them loved them! And we had them with deer roast, salad, and carrots. Best meal ever :)
