In reply to Cathleen. Cathleen, yes, this recipe will serve 8 people if they each have one half of the potato. Enjoy them!

I make a batch (yes, batch) of twice-baked potatoes. As long as I’m making them, it takes no longer to fill a cookie sheet than a make just a few. To fill them make quickly with your yummy mixture, use a plastic bag, fill it and cut the corner for a tip and pipe the filling into your skins. I use my FoodSaver after they cool and seal each half by itself and freeze. It’s easy to have a couple ready when ever you want them this way. I’ve made up a bag of potatoes at one time and as long as you are “in the mess” you might as well take advantage of it. They freeze well too.

Hi Vivian,
I have not frozen them, but through a Google search, I found that it’s easy to do. I found this from The Kitchn.
Make the twice-baked potatoes according to my recipe, but stop before baking them the second time. So, you’ll bake and stuff, but not bake again.
Cool the stuffed potatoes completely before wrapping individually in tin foil. If you’re going to bake the potatoes in their frozen state before thawing, wrap each one in plastic wrap and then in foil.
They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Store the foil-wrapped potatoes in a freezer bag or storage container. Remember to put a date on and label it.
To bake the frozen potatoes: preheat oven to 425°F, remove the foil and plastic wrap from the desired number of potatoes and place into a baking dish. Cover with tin foil and bake for 35 – 45 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with additional cheese and bake for an additional 15-20 more minutes or until potatoes are hot.

If you want to bake thawed potatoes, know that they will cook more quickly than frozen ones. Thaw the amount you plan on serving in the fridge the night before you intend to serve them. Unwrap from the plastic wrap and tin foil and place into a baking dish. Preheat oven to 425°F, and sprinkle tops with additional cheese. Bake for 15-25 minutes until hot and cheese has melted.

Have you ever made these and then wrapped and froze them individually for later use?
