Why are the potatoes baked twice in this recipe?

The first bake cooks the potato and crisps the skin, while the second bake melts the vegan cheese and warms the hummus-filled potato mixture.

Can I use any type of hummus for this recipe?

Yes, any store-bought or homemade hummus will work well to add creaminess and flavor to the potato filling.

What kind of vegan cheese works best for topping?

A grated vegan cheese that melts well, such as a cheddar or mozzarella style, will create a delicious, gooey topping for these potatoes.

Can I prepare these Twice Baked Cheese Hummus Potatoes in advance?

You can bake and scoop the potatoes, and even mash the filling, a day ahead. Reassemble and bake with cheese just before serving for best results.

What is recommended to serve with these potatoes?

The recipe suggests serving these hearty Twice Baked Cheese Hummus Potatoes with a fresh side salad to balance the richness.

How to Prepare Twice Baked Cheese Hummus Potatoes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat an oven to about 180°F.
Prick the potato a few times with a fork and cook it in a microwave until it's cooked through. This takes about 5 minutes.
Place it in the oven and leave it to crisp up - about 20 minutes
Remove the potato from the oven and leave it to cool for a few minutes. Slice it in half and use a spoon to scoop out most of the fluffy potato insides - leave a good thick "wall" around the outside, so the potato skin doesn't collapse.
Place the potato insides in a bowl with the hummus and butter.
Mash together the ingredients until they are mostly smooth and then, scoop them back into the potato shells. Top with grated cheese if you have some around.
Place the potato halves back in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Serve with a side salad.
