Twice Baked Potatoes with Truffle
There isn't many things that go better with potatoes than truffles and cheese! WOW, what a combo. Check it out!
Oh my, did we have fun down south on our truffle kerfuffle hunt! This is just one of the recipes, and we did film it! So much deliciousness and seriously simple with absolutely no need to get the Thermomix dirty unless you are making 100's of them.
We noticed that if you have too much spring onion, it kind of kills the delicate truffle flavour, so take heed and use sparingly, though a little freshness is always nice. Then adding brie and cheddar, I mean...is there anything better? More comforting in winter? I think not. Enjoy these at Easter time, in the autumn or winter, whenever you need a warm embrace of those hearty flavours.
