Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
1 hrs

Wash potatoes and place directly on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake until a fork easily pierces through the center, about 1 hour.

03

Step
15 mins

Remove potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly, about 15 minutes, until you can handle them comfortably.

04

Step
5 mins

Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer attached to the skin to maintain its shape. Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a large mixing bowl.

05

Step
5 mins

Using an electric mixer, beat the potato flesh until light and fluffy. Gradually add the warmed milk and melted butter, continuing to beat until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

06

Step
10 mins

Transfer the potato mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (or use a spoon). Pipe the mixture back into the potato skins, creating a decorative swirl. Sprinkle generously with fresh chives.

07

Step
2 hrs

Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.

08

Step
5 mins

Once frozen, transfer the potatoes to freezer bags or airtight containers. Freeze for up to 2 months. (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, try adding a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, or shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture.
To bake from frozen, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place frozen potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through.
Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly cooled before freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor. European-style butter is a great choice.

    Freezing them ahead of time was a lifesaver when I had unexpected guests. Just popped them in the oven, and dinner was served!

  • Treva Halvorson

    My potatoes took longer than 40 minutes to bake from frozen. I think it depends on how large they are.

  • Bernadette Maggio

    These were so easy to make and tasted amazing! I added some cheddar cheese and bacon bits to the filling, and they were a huge hit.

  • Dion Runolfsdottir

    I found the recipe a little bland, so I added some garlic powder and a dash of hot sauce to the filling. Much better!

  • Krystal West

    Next time, I'll try using sour cream instead of milk for a tangier flavor.

  • Maia Krajcik

    The piping bag is a great idea! It makes them look so fancy.

  • Edythe Hyatt

    These are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!
