Weight Watchers Twice Baked Potatoes

This is what the recipe says they are supposed to look like. and here's where i got the recipe
http://www.wwrecipes.net/twice-baked-potatoes.html

Alright before i start you should know what this recipe takes over an hour to complete.




First you start out making tiny slices in the potatoes so you can bake them. You then back them for an hour in the oven.








The recipe calls for 3 large potatoes and these sizes seemed to work out great for me :)









You then scrape out the insides of all of the potatoes and place them in a bowl.







The Potatoes will then look like this.




After you mix up all the ingredients you put it back into the potatoes and add some cheese and peprika and put it back into the oven






 This is how mine turned out :)

At first i thought this was going to be hard but it turned out to be pretty easy so i would deff. say that this is a Successful recipe and tastes great too! :)

  3. Cheap very little ingredients
  4. Tastes great

CONS
  1. Takes a very long time to cook
