Have you ever heard of The Secret Recipe Club? I found out about it through a few blogs that I follow and thought it was a very neat idea. The way I explain it to people is that it’s like Secret Santa. You get assigned a blog “buddy” and visit their blog to pick a recipe you want to re-create. Once you find a recipe from their blog, you make it, photograph it, and post it. Everyone reveals their assigned blog at the same time and date. It’s fun to go around to different blogs and see who had who. It’s also a great way for smaller blogs to reach out to a different or larger audience.
For my first SRC match-up I was paired with Sarah from Curious Cuisiniere. I was torn between a few different recipes that I wanted to make, but her Twice Cooked Broccoli Cheddar Potatoes called out to me. Baked potatoes are something that I rarely eat now that I’m an adult because I don’t want to heat up a whole oven for 2 potatoes. I had all the ingredients for this recipe in the house after I made some substitutions, including some potatoes that had been lingering in my crisper for far too long. I swapped the broccoli out for some green bell pepper and added some wasabi mayo, barbeque sauce, and breadcrumbs into the mix.
This recipe is easily adaptable and surprisingly filling. I ate 2 halves for dinner and was pretty satisfied. I re-heated one for leftovers and it was revitalized quite well after a minute in the microwave.

Welcome to the club! Loved twice baked potatoes, haven’t made them in a few years, so it ‘s nice to be reminded of how great they are!
I wish you a wonderful time as a member of the SRC, my favorite net event ever!

These potatoes sounds delicious, and your photography is absolutely beautiful! Happy 1st reveal day!! 🙂
This is so perfect for the bits of ham and cheese I always end up having in my fridge! I haven’t made twice baked potatoes in ages.
Yumm!! Those look fantastic! I’ve always thought about making a stash of twice baked potatoes and then wrapping and freezing them to pull out for reheating as needed but never have tried it to see how that would work. This looks like a wonderful recipe – great SRC pick! 🙂
Twice baked potatoes are so good! I make them every once in a while with a good cut of steak 🙂 Great pick for your first reveal day!
