Kitchen witchcraft is the perfect place to practice elemental magick. No matter what you're cooking, all the elements are present.

We honor earth with the ingredients we prepare and the metal pots we cook in. We experience the element of air in the steam rising from the pot and the delicious scents floating on the earth. Water is present in the liquids we use to cook with, including the water present in our food that's transmuted in the cooking process. And it's not cooking without fire, the application of heat from the stove or oven that makes our food more enjoyable and easier for our bodies to process.

But we can also experiment with elemental interplay in our flavors as well, which is part of what makes cooking and baking so fun. The contrasts and unions of different ingredients that come together to form one transcendent flavor is definitely magic.

Magical Properties of Potatoes

Potatoes are probably best known for their ability to soak up negative energy. Use potatoes in cleansing spells to remove harmful energies from your body or from your space like an energetic sponge. Because of their firmness, they can also be used in sympathetic magick for things like binding spells. I often use the grounding properties of potatoes to hep me feel connected to earth energy. Their high water content also evokes the moon and feminine energy.

Ingredients

Here's everything you'll need to make this dish. The full details are in the recipe card below.

• Potatoes - big starchy baking potatoes are best here
• Oil - whatever you have on hand
• Salt
• Chicken - pre-cooked and chopped or shredded
• Cheddar cheese - or your favorite melty cheese
• Sour cream - or creme fraiche or plain yogurt
• Green onions - chopped

You won't need any special equipment for this recipe. Just a baking sheet, a mixing bowl, and a spoon. And of course, you'll need a knife and cutting board. I don't even really use measuring cups for this. This is a recipe where it's totally fine to eyeball it.

Tips for making Buffalo Chicken Twice Baked Potatoes

I know that many of you are fond of microwaving potatoes rather than baking them, but I assure you that cooking your potatoes in the oven, or even the air fryer (which is just a small convection oven) is going to give you a much better result as your potato will cook more evenly and be much more fluffy and delicious.

Since you're going to be eating the skin of the potato here, make sure it's scrubbed clean. To give it some flavor, rub it with oil and season it with salt before baking your potatoes for 45 minutes to an hour depending on size. Don't forget to poke holes in them with a fork first. You can do this bit well ahead of time if you like.

When you're ready to mix in your other ingredients, carefully cut the potatoes in half and scoop out most of the flesh of the potato, leaving a bit stuck to the skin so it will hold its shape. Add this to a mixing bowl and give it a rough smash. We're not making mashed potatoes, just breaking up the flesh so it will incorporate with the other ingredinets more easily. Then you just stir in the rest of your ingredients, scoop that mixture back into your potato skins, and pop it back into the oven until everything is hot and melty. So easy. So good.
