These are a staple for our Christmas and Easter table always and I make them occasionally throughout the year. They are labor of love but totally worth it!

¼cupButterMelted
2tspSalt
6stalksGreen onionReserve half to top off
Black pepperTo taste
Espeletter (alternatively you can use paprika)To taste
Instructions
Wash, pat dry, score and wrap potatoes in aluminum foil
Bake on the middle rack for about 2 hours as you flip them once half way through
Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut off the top and scrape most of the flesh off as you try not to break the skin
To a mixer add the scooped potatoes, 1 package of cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper and half of the chopped scallions; mix and scoop the mixture back to the potato “shell”
Top with the remaining cream cheese, sprinkle chopped green onions, black pepper and espelette
Add back to the oven at 425 F for another 15-20 mins until golden and get ready to taste the best double baked potatoes!
