Ingredients

4 baking potatoes
3 balls fresh mozzarella, diced
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, plus more to decorate

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Prick the potatoes here and there with a fork and put them into the oven, straight on the wire rack, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on their size.

Take the potatoes out of the oven and let them cool down a little before you handle them. Carefully slice each 1 in half and scoop out the fluffy potato flesh into a bowl, reserving the skins.

Put the diced mozzarella into the bowl with the potato and add the 2 tablespoons of ketchup. Mix with a fork and then spoon the filling back into the potato skins.

Sit the loaded potato skins on a lined baking sheet, and dribble over some more ketchup in a gory blood-dripping kind of way. Put back in the oven to cook for 15 minutes, by which time the cheese will have melted and the potatoes be warmed through.

Smoky Blood and Guts
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I only had smoked mozzerella on hand instead of fresh, so I used barbecue sauce in place of the ketchup for a smoky spin on... these. Delish!!Read more

Great Kid Food
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were very easy to make, and was a hit with my kids. I have never added ketchup to a twice baked potato, but it was... great, and my kids wanted them even more since I was feeding them what they saw as fast food. Since it's healthier than fast food, I feel more comfortable feeding this to my children instead of depending on the drive-thru.Read more
