Forget half-shells of potatoes! My Horseradish Dill Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes are just that – STUFFED! A large baking potato is baked and then the insides are removed and creamed together with butter, yogurt, sharp cheddar cheese, horseradish and dill. And then of course, there’s a quarter pound of bacon crumbled on top.
Call me crazy, but I love grocery shopping. Obviously it’s much less chaotic when I only have one of my children with me or if I get to go by myself at a leisurely pace. I adore a full refrigerator and all the possibilities it holds as well as discovering new ingredients on each shelf as I stroll each aisle. Right before we left Madison, they Hy-Vee grocery chain came to town. (Hy-Vee if you’re listening, please come to Ohio!) Midwesterners, do you know Hy-Vee? I’ve known them since we lived in Missouri and they actually catered the buffet for our wedding. So. Good.
Hy-Vee is known for an amazing meat department and when Andy’s parents would visit, we’d often grab steaks with these delicious twice baked potatoes for dinner. My mouth is watering just thinking of them! Andy would be in charge of manning the grill and I had the easy task of simply warming the potatoes. A delicious steakhouse experience at home. I haven’t had one of those dreamy potatoes in years so I finally took it upon myself to make my own. And if I do say, mine even beat the store bought variety!
Forget half-shells of potatoes! My Horseradish Dill Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes are just that – STUFFED! A large baking potato is baked and then the insides are removed and creamed together with butter, yogurt and sharp cheddar cheese. To really give my potatoes a steakhouse flavor, I added Robert Rothschild Farm’s Emerald Isle Onion Dill Horseradish Dip. To me, horseradish just screams steak! And then of course, there’s a quarter pound of bacon crumbled on top. No skimping!
- 4 large baking potatoes, washed and patted dry
- 1 pound bacon
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese + additional for topping
- 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt
- ½ cup Robert Rothschild Farm Emerald Isle Onion Dill Horseradish Dip
- fresh dill, to garnish
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place potatoes on baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cut bacon into ½" slices add to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crisp and remove to paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Let potatoes cool until they are easily handled.
- Slice 1" strip of skin off of the top of each potato and discard. Scoop cooked potato from inside of each skin, being careful to leave shells intact.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, add cooked potato and butter and mix until butter is melted and combined.
- Add cheese, yogurt and dip and cream together. Spoon the mixture evenly back into each potato and top with additional cheddar cheese and bacon.
- Return potatoes to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with chopped fresh dill prior to serving.
These potatoes could definitely be a meal in and of themselves – pair them with a salad and you’re good to go. Regardless of how you serve them, my Horseradish Dill Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes are sure to fill the stomachs of all you serve them to!

Whoa, baby. These potatoes look AWESOME! I love grocery shopping and a full fridge, too! That is the hardest thing about me living in the Midwest now is that sometimes we get snowed in and I don’t have a full fridge! I guess it’s a good excuse to eat up what’s in the freezer though 😉
Thanks, girl! You’re welcome for dinner anytime!
I love potatoes stuffed with anything, These look delicious. I love the bite of horseradish!
Thanks so much, Melissa – I’m a fan of horseradish, too!
Melanie, I wish I lived at your house! I think I never make twice baked potatoes because it takes too long – but you’re making me drool!
I totally was with you on the time issue, Beth! Luckily these don’t take long at all except for the initial baking which was perfect while I got the rest of our meal ready.
HOLY YUM! YES! I have a huge brick of horseradish cheddar that was destined for these! <3
Thanks a million, Jenn! And YES! That cheese would be perfect with this!
I LOVE grocery shopping too… call us crazy but its soothing and overwhelming. i want everything with all the ideas I have going on in my head. Ha. And these babies? Perfection!
I’m totally with you – my thoughts exactly! Thanks, Meg!
Love the flavor combination of horseradish and dill. Your potatoes look amazingly delicious!
Tracey @ The Kitchen is My Playground
Thank you for your kind words, Tracey!
Melanie these look incredible! I love grocery shopping too and find it therapeutic.
Thank you so much, Carrie! And so glad I’m not alone!
I am right there with you – grocery shopping is one of my favorite activities (if the kids are NOT involved) and having a full fridge and pantry makes me one happy momma – these potatoes look CRAZY good, and just perfect for Saturday night steak night!!
Steak night Saturday definitely needs to be a thing at my house! And I’d love to go grocery shopping with you – how fun would that be?!
These sound AMAZING! I’ve been wanting to incorporate horseradish into more dishes, and this looks like a great place to start.
I definitely agree – let’s make this year the year of horseradish!
I love grocery shopping too girl.. even with the little guy. We both have fun looking at things and he loves calling out foods that he knows!
This recipe sounds right up our alley, we would add horseradish to everything if we coudl! Love it!
Can you imagine the fun we’d have grocery shopping together, Krista?!
This meal screams “manly” and I know my husband would love it! I am big into dill now, but I still have to work up the courage for horseradish (even though I love spice.)
You could totally do these, Kacey – just a bit of bite from the horseradish that totally makes these potatoes.
I want to reach through the screen and pop one of these in my mouth. I know they taste amazin, perfect harmony of flavors!
You’re so sweet – thanks, Amy!
I think some of my best recipe ideas come to my while grocery shopping. Well, when I am able to go alone. If I have a kid or two then not so much. ha! Great recipe Melanie! My hubs LOVES horseradish.. and potatoes. Win!
I think grocery stores should host mom’s night out so we can all go grocery shopping in peace!
Ooh these stuffed sweet potatoes look divine! I love the horseradish addition – it is an ingredient that I rarely use but sure love to eat.
Definitely one of my favorite flavors, Thalia!
I love twice baked potatoes! These are so pretty!
Me too, Shelby and this recipe is so full of flavor but easy as well!
You had me at “quarter pound of bacon.” These are gorgeous, and I need one!
Bacon FTW, Andi! I mean, why skimp?
Yum! These look great! Grocery shopping and potatoes are some of my favorite things
Thanks so much, Medha – totally agree!
Whoa. I’ve been crazy with potatoes. But, unlike you I didn’t go for shopping whenever I have my leisure time. I just go through food websites that can help me gather information and will help me learn more about cooking. Your site is one of those blogs I always visit. I like your idea of using the whole potato, the only thing I wonder about is the horseradish, I never tried any dish with the collaboration of two. Anyways, really thankful with this post, I’ll prepare this one instead of dining in at some of the best brunch in hong kong. haha. =)
Thanks so much for your kind words, Lea!
These Horseradish Dill Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes are just that stuffed yes! Will definitely try this meal hopefully this weekend. Thanks Melanie for the recipe! Time to look for some dessert recipes.
Thanks, Jocel!
