Boursin Twice Baked Potatoes are an easy potato side dish stuffed with cheddar cheese, creamy Boursin cheese, and perfectly seasoned.
What makes this stuffed potatoes recipe SO AMAZING?
Boursin stuffed potatoes are unique and are a super popular side dish for Sunday dinners, summer BBQ's, or holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving!
It was inspired by my obsession with Boursin Cheese, see Creamy Orzo with Roasted Asparagus for more Boursin.
These can be made ahead and frozen for the future too! It makes it easy to make a big double batch and save some for later or to bake a few at a time when you need them.

This recipe starts with baked potatoes, so make sure you plan ahead with time to bake and cool them or make them in an Instant Pot.
START by cleaning and baking 5 medium sized potatoes, pierced with a fork and wrapped in tinfoil at 375 F. Cool to room temperature or refrigerate ahead.
SCOOP middles of potatoes carefully out with a spoon and place the potato skins on a baking sheet, reserving the potato middles separately in a mixing bowl.
MASH potatoes with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
ADD the fillings: Boursin cheese, cheddar cheese, spices, cottage cheese, sour cream, and melted butter.
MIX up potato filling thoroughly.
FILL potato skins with the filling carefully using a large spoon. Depending on the size of the potatoes, you'll need ¼ cup to ½ cup of filling per potato.
BAKE potatoes at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until warm through, cheese is melted, and potato skins are starting to crisp on the outside.
TOP with chopped green onions and/or as many bacon crumbles as your heart desires!
