Ingredients

6 large Idaho potatoes
Vegetable oil, for coating
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups grated cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling
2 cups grated Monterey Jack
2 cups sour cream
Salt and pepper
1 pound shrimp, peeled and Sauteed
Paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Begin by washing potatoes, drying them, and gently pricking them with a fork on the sides. Coat each potato with vegetable oil, place on foil covered pan, and bake for approximately 1 hour.

Place the butter in a large bowl. Remove the potatoes from the oven and slice each potato in half. Gently scoop out the potato and place in the bowl. Using a mixer on high, mix the potatoes, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Fold the shrimp and both cheeses into the mixture. Gently stuff the mixture back into the potato shells, making sure not to break them. Pile the mixture as high as you can on top of the potato shells. Sprinkle each potato with cheese and paprika for color. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 to 30 minutes until browned on top.

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cut this recipe in half using 3 large potatoes. It was enough for 6 people to have a full serving and enough for me to... take to work the next day. Every one loved it. Read more

Best Twice-Baked Potatoes Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm surprised these aren't in Paula's top ten. They are absolutely delicious. Sometimes I put shrimp in and sometimes not. ... I agree with the previous reviewer, I have better luck at 400 degrees for 60 -70 minutes. That makes a nice shell. Every person I've fed these to want the recipe. They are the most requested item my son cooks for his shift on the Anchorage, Alaska Fire Department. Read more
