Usually, twice baked potatoes are baked and then you scoop out the interior, leaving the skin as a shell. This mixture is then spooned back into the skin shells and they are replaced in the oven to warm through. This version is an easier casserole to feed a crowd. It's great for potlucks and can be made in advance.
