For twice baked loaded potatoes, we like to use a starchy potato. You may find it hard for them to stay together when you scoop out the filling, but the potato filling will mix in and absorb the butter and sour cream much better than a waxier potato like red potatoes. You can either cool the cooked potatoes (but not twice baked) or cool the fully twice baked potatoes. Place baking tray with potatoes directly in the freezer and freeze for one hour. If you haven't already twice baked them, save the extra cheese on top until you're ready to bake.
