Twice-baked potatoes are the kind of comfort food that feels almost indulgent, and this version delivers every bit of that cozy, loaded satisfaction without a drop of dairy in sight. The filling gets its creamy, velvety texture from dairy-free butter and warmed dairy-free milk, while nutritional yeast adds a savory, cheesy depth that makes the whole thing taste far more decadent than it has any right to. Garlic powder and black pepper round out the seasoning, and optional crumbled bacon plus fresh chives push it firmly into crowd-pleaser territory. Each shell gets mounded high with that fluffy filling, topped with shredded dairy-free cheese, and sent back into a hot oven until the edges turn lightly golden — the kind of finish that makes people reach for seconds. This recipe serves 4, making it a solid weeknight side or a satisfying main when you want something hearty on the table. The whole process is straightforward enough that even a first-timer can pull it off with confidence.

Ingredients

4 servings

4 large russet potatoes (about 10 oz each), scrubbed
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

For the filling

3 tbsp dairy free butter
⅓ cup dairy free milk, warmed
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
3 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced, divided

For topping

¼ cup dairy free cheese, shredded

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Rub each potato all over with olive oil and sprinkle with the 1/2 tsp kosher salt, then place directly on the prepared baking sheet.
2
Bake the potatoes for 55 to 65 minutes, until the skins are crisp and a fork slides into the center with no resistance. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
