TWICE BAKED POTATOES


My kids beg for these potatoes. They are addicting. It takes a bit of work to create this dish but it is well worth the effort.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

4 large baking potatoes
6 slices of bacon, cooked and cut into pieces
1/2 c. shredded cheddar
2 green onions, sliced
sour cream
cream cheese
butter

Wash the potatoes, poke with a fork, and wrap them in foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours. When the potatoes are done baking, slice them in half and scoop the potato out of the skin. Be careful to keep the skin intact. In a separate bowl, mash the potatoes with sour cream, butter, and a couple of ounces of cream cheese. I don't measure these ingredients. Just dump until it looks and tastes good. Scoop the potatoes into the halved skins. Sprinkle with black pepper. Top with bacon, then cheese, then onions. Bake just long enough to melt the cheese. You will end up with 7 halved potatoes Enjoy!
