Twice Baked Potatoes- Cajun style

Mads thought I was crazy when I tried to explain to him what "Twice Baked" potatoes were.... then he tasted them! It is a GREAT alternative to the "normal" potatoes you make....especially in a country like DK where we eat LOTS of potatoes!

Preheat oven to 350.

Wash 6 large baking potatoes. Poke each potato several times with a fork and then lightly coat each potato with oil, sprinkle them with a little bit of Cajun seasoning (of course, I use SLAP YA MAMA) and then place them on a foil covered pan.

Bake for at least 1 hour.

Just before you take the potatoes from the oven, place a stick of butter in a large bowl. (I use 1/2 stick of regular butter and a 1/2 stick of garlic butter as it gives it a bit more flavor.)

Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut off the top 1/3 of each one.

GENTLY scoop out the potato (from the bottom 2/3 AND the tops!)

with a spoon and place into the bowl with the butter. Smash the potatoes until most of the lumps are out, while combining with the butter. Add 2 cups

of sour cream and 2-3 shakes of Cajun seasoning. Mix well. Add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and mix.

Scoop this mixture back into your 6 potato shells, being VERY CAREFUL not to break the shells. Pile the mixture as high as possible.

Set the filled potatoes back in the oven in a dish that allows them to "sit up". Bake for 20 minutes on 350. Take out of oven and put a small pinch of cheese on top of each and bake for 10 more minutes.

SERVE HOT!

or freeze for another day!
