What’s In These Dairy Free Twice Baked Potatoes?
Potatoes, Garlic, & Green Onions – I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!
- Bleu Cheese – I like getting pre-crumbled blue cheese like this variety! It’s usually more economical than a wedge.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.

How Do I Make Twice Baked Potatoes Vegan?
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Thoroughly wash and scrub the outside of the potatoes. Using a fork, pierce holes all around the potato. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil, until they are well coated. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Slice: Once potatoes have been cooled, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the filling from both halves into a bowl, leaving the skin of the potatoes in tact. Place the empty potato skins back onto the baking sheet.
- Make the Filling: In the bowl with the potato filling, add the sour cream, 1/2 cup of blue cheese (saving the extra 1/4 cup for garnish), 2 cloves garlic, green onions, salt and pepper.
- Fill Potatoes: With a spoon, scoop the filling into each potato. One potato skins have all been filled, place back in the oven for 15 minutes and bake until tops have begun to crisp.
- Remove potatoes from oven and garnish with the remaining blue cheese, enjoy!
