Twice Baked Potatoes
An absolutely delicious side dish made from baked potatoes
Ingredients
- 6 large baked potatoes
- 1/8 cup crumbled bacon or 2 strips
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 fresh green onions
- 1 tsp salt more to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp paprika garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- While still warm, slice the potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
- Mash potato flesh with milk and sour cream. Add more milk and sour cream as needed to moisten.
- Stir in bacon crumbles and green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Refill potato skins, heaping high. NOTE: not all skins will be used.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Top with cheddar cheese, sprinkle with paprika and cook for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

Notes
Potatoes can be assembled ahead of time and chilled in the fridge until ready to bake. If chilling, leave cheese off of potatoes. Bake cold potatoes for 45 min, then top with cheese and bake another 5 min or until cheese is melted..
