Learn everything you need to know about how to make smoked twice baked potatoes!

What are Smoked Twice Baked Potatoes?
Today we are making smoked twice baked potatoes, or maybe we should refer to them as twice smoked potatoes?
With conventional twice baked potatoes you first bake a potato, then cut it in half and remove the cooked potato insides and mix them with a bunch of other delicious ingredients like cheese and sour cream.
You then place that mixture back in the scooped out potato skins, top them with cheese, and bake them again. Hence, twice baked.
We are going to follow a similar recipe but use our slow smoked baked potatoes we did previously and turn them into twice baked smoked potatoes by making the filling and then putting them BACK on the smoker but at a higher temperature this time.
First, check out our complete recipe for How to Make Smoked Baked Potatoes, and then come on back we'll show you how we make them twice baked, or...twice smoked...you get the idea!
