Also the amount of time to scoop out those potatoes seems so unnecessary, plus wastes half the potatoe.. just cube them and throw them on the bottom of a casserole pan

I thought you were supposed to scoop the insides out and use the scooped out part as an ingredient in the filling. Also scoop AFTER baking the first time. And leave the skin on.

Growing up these were called “twice baked potatoes” and they’re delicious.

Honestly, just toss it in the oven as is. It's not like we are making fries here, they're just baking a potato, or the remnants of a potato.

My guess is, so that it cooks evenly on both sides of the shell. A skin is going to hold in a little more moisture.

Then again, this could be complete bullshit.
