i'm so excited we're moving on to
0:02
probably my number one most favorite
0:04
food in the world which is a potato
0:06
my family teases me all the time they
0:08
say mama you don't care what we have as
0:09
long as we've got a potato
0:10
and they're just about right and today
0:13
wonderful shrimp stuff twice baked
0:15
potato to go along with that wonderful
0:18
and we've already got our potatoes ready
0:20
here and i'm just going to
0:21
saw these little boys in half i actually
0:24
want to work with them while they're
0:27
and you can see the steam just coming up
0:30
beautiful soft potatoes and while
0:33
they're cooling for a minute i'm going
0:36
and i'm going to take some shrimp that i
0:38
have just actually pulled in half i
0:41
and i'm going to throw them into this
0:42
saute pan with just a little olive oil
0:46
and i'm just going to stir them around
0:49
second if you want to ruin a shrimp
0:52
it they'll come out tough and flavorless
0:56
so we're going to just roll this around
0:57
in the pan just for a second
1:00
and that's all we need right there that
1:04
just gonna set those to the side and
1:06
we're ready now to start removing the
1:10
the potatoes are cool enough for us to
1:11
handle now because you do want to do
1:13
these while they're warm they're so much
1:16
i'll never forget the first time that
1:18
i've made a twice baked potato
1:20
i just skinned those babies out there
1:23
meat at all left in them so about the
1:25
only way that you can actually mess up a
1:29
is by removing too much meat from it you
1:33
enough that it has some body to the
1:36
because you don't want your potato just
1:37
falling and running all over the place
1:40
people that really know me well realize
1:42
that i'm not the most
1:43
organized person around the fact that
1:45
you can actually make these potatoes
1:48
as far as a week in advance is great
1:51
all right i've cleared all of our potato
1:54
we're going to start by whipping these
1:57
now i'm going to add a stick of butter
1:59
you know we can't go wrong with a potato
2:01
and a stick of butter girls
2:03
and we're just going to whip these until
2:05
the butter is melting they're kind of
2:08
we're going to add some sour cream and
2:12
depending on the size of your potatoes
2:14
will depend on how much sour cream you
2:16
these potatoes are not real real large
2:18
so we're probably going to cut back
2:20
on the moisture in the filling
2:24
so i'm going to put probably about a cup
2:27
and i'm going to go ahead and add my
2:31
and you know this is another one of
2:33
those dishes that you can really
2:35
have fun with and just play with you
2:37
could stuff these with bacon or sausage
2:40
crab or you can just leave them plain
2:43
they don't have to have meat in them
2:45
but for christmas time since it's a very
2:47
very special occasion
2:48
i love the idea of some seafood being
2:50
thrown in on the table
2:56
all right we've got those mixed up now
2:58
and all i'm gonna do at this point
3:00
is throw in some blended cheese now i've
3:04
cheddar cheese and mozzarella but you
3:08
any cheese that's your favorite looks
3:13
and i'm gonna taste these and make sure
3:15
i've got my seasonings right
3:20
i think they're perfect just the way
3:22
they are and now i'm going to fold in
3:26
and if you like at this point you could
3:28
chop up some fresh parsley
3:31
and put in there if you want a little
3:32
green color all right now i'm just going
3:36
back into our potato shell my family is
3:40
very happy they're going to love the
3:42
fact that mama's not going to be stuck
3:45
the whole day that i'll be able to sit
3:46
around with them and laugh and talk and
3:50
we could have actually used cream cheese
3:53
in place of sour cream but
3:55
you know i just love potatoes and sour
3:57
cream together and look at this our
4:00
turned out perfect as you can see now
4:05
yielded us 12 servings but before these
4:08
delicacies go in the oven i'm gonna
4:10
sprinkle them with a little paprika just
4:13
you could actually just let them go like
4:14
this and when you pull them out of the
4:16
oven sprinkle them with a little fresh
4:18
but i'm going to go ahead and stick
4:20
these in let them get good and hot
4:22
the insides are hot we'll pull them out
4:24
of the oven sprinkle a little cheese on
4:26
top and they're ready to eat
4:28
how delicious does that look as y'all
4:32
i didn't remove too much meat leaving a
4:36
shell to hold the whipped
4:39
potatoes and shrimp you'll want to do
4:42
this with a little care because they're
4:50
