Easy twice baked potatoes with sour cream, cheddar and chives recipe from @bakedbyrachel

Birthdays typically mean cake and ice cream, or even ice cream cake. But, rarely do they mean other desserts. Maybe for some it means cheesecake. But no, apparently there has been a hidden interest in my family for pie. At least father and daughter share the same wish.

My dad and I have birthdays just over a week apart. We celebrated his last week, with cake. I spotted a pie in a spare room and thought how funny, only because I’ve been wanting pie for my birthday. I love pie. Like, really love pie. Especially when it comes to apple pie. And given my love for pie and the fact that my birthday IS literally pi(e) day, it seems natural to have and want pie on my birthday.

This was the first year that actually happened, mostly. I made crisp. Or rather, 4/5 of us made it. Too many cooks in the kitchen but it was fun… and delicious. And now I’m left wanting more! It’s always gone too fast.

And just like the apple crisp, these potatoes were gone equally as fast… and were just as delicious in their own savory way.

Twice baked potatoes take a bit of time, but they’re completely worth it. Plus, you can’t beat how amazing they taste! And, there’s minimal hands on time with these, which is a huge bonus in my book.

Crispy potato shells, stuffed with creamy sour cream, cheddar and chive mashed potatoes. They’re an absolute must make! And just in case you have leftovers, these reheat beautifully in the oven!

Be sure to add these sour cream twice baked potatoes to your dinner plans!
