Twice Baked Potato Recipe

This twice baked potato recipe is a great use of those leftover mashed potatoes. Adding onion to the mix and a generous coating of cheddar cheese really breathes new life into the potatoes, which may have suffered a different fate.
If desired add chopped chives instead of onions and serve with a dollop of sour cream. Or add crunchy bacon bits, once plated.
Twice Baked Potato Ingredients:
Cold leftover mashed potatoes (enough to fill baking dish)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/8 -1/4 c. milk
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over top of potato mixture.
4. Cover dish with foil or a lid and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
