Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
4 large baking potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
½ cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, split in half
green onions, sliced, split in half
Directions
Wash your potatoes and then poke at the skin with a fork to allow steam to
escape.
Bake potatoes in the oven for an hour at 350F or 175C.
While the potatoes are cooking, cook up the 8 strips of bacon in a pan.
When they’re cooked, drain them and let them cool on a paper towel. Now break
them up into small pieces with your hands and set aside.
When the potatoes are fully cooked, take them out and slice them in half
lengthwise.
Now scoop out the potato flesh into a bowl. If the potatoes have been fully
cooked, this should be easy. Don’t worry too much about getting all the flesh
out. If you do that you could easily rip the skin apart and we want it intact.
Mix the potato flesh with the sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, half of
the cheese, and half of the green onions.
In other words, set aside one half of the cheese and one half of the green
onions and toss everything else in with the potato flesh and mix it up.
When it’s all smooth and thoroughly mixed, spoon the mixture
back into the potato skins.
Sprinkle the remaining bacon, cheese, and green onions on top of the potatoes
Put the potatoes back into the oven at 350F/175C for another 15 minutes.
