Twice baked potatoes is a great way to use up leftover baked potatoes, but they also make a delicious side for a nice dinner.

. . . We took apple pastry filling, spread between two slices of homemade bread, preferably Pumpkin Walnut Bread, and slowly cooked it on the griddle. It's marvelous, especially with the pumpkin bread.  The earthiness of the pumpkin bread matches the pie-like apple filling perfectly. Buttermilk syrup is unique with a tone of caramel spiked with a touch of butterscotch. Caramel flavored whipped cream is the crowning touch.
