Alternative, it’s a different thing, but:
- Bake potatoes until deep brown; oil and salt them, if preferred
- Scoop them out entirely into a big bowl, be gentle but try to get all the potato without causing structural issues to the remaining skin.
- Skins go back in the oven, empty side up whilst you do the rest, should be crisping up but not shrivelling.
- Mash the scooped potato until smooth, adding black pepper, cream, cheese, bacon etc.
- Remove skins and refill them as densely as possible
- Mozzarella on top, parsley, herbs etc. to taste
- Back in the oven until looking good and ready
- Don’t burn yourself

Sounds like Twice Baked Potatoes.
My mom used to make them. My wife does too.
To be extra fancy, use a piping bag with a star tip when you fill them.
