There are a few things I've been making for as long as I can remember. One of those things is a twice-baked potato. They were a staple growing up and easy as pie to make. Imagine my surprise when a friend told me she didn't know how to make them. What??? I guess I just assumed it was one of those things everyone knows how to make, but I guess not. So, for those of you who have never attempted to make a twice-baked potato, get ready for your new favorite side.
