How to Reheat Twice Baked Potatoes

How to Prepare Your Twice-Baked Potatoes for Reheating

Your potatoes have been through a lot. They have been baked twice and each time the skins have suffered damage. It is like shaving too much and your skin gets red and flakey. Inspect your potatoes to make sure the skins are intact.

If your potato skins are getting thin and wrinkly, put a butter salve on them. Get a stick of butter and rub it on the spots that the skin is getting thin. This will help protect your potato from the damage that might occur cooking them for a third time.

Another way you can prepare your skins for further cooking is to rub peanut butter on the skins. It is the same color as the skins and will protect them from further damage.
