Twice Baked Cheddar Potatoes

Potatoes, the perfect accompaniment to any dinner! Twice baked potatoes are an ideal way to prepare your spuds ahead and just heat up before serving, making them a welcome addition to a busy holiday meal. I always bake one extra potato for more potato filling and rub the potato skins with olive oil and a sprinkle of kosher salt! The  potato skins will taste as wonderful as the filling!  Buttery and cheesy, Twice Baked Cheddar Potatoes are lightened with Greek yogurt, giving them just a hint of tangy-ness too!
