LOADED TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Have I ever mentioned how much I love potatoes? Oh yeah, I’ve mentioned it a few times. But I haven’t mentioned how MUCH I love these Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes. Potato skins are a favorite when we go out to eat, but they do not compare to these. We usually order them as an appetizer, but these could also be served as a side dish for any grilled meat.

Begin by scrubbing the potatoes. I use russet potatoes because the skin is thicker and you want them to maintain their shape when you scoop out the centers. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until they are just tender. I use a medium-sized potato and it takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

Cook the bacon until crisp in a saute pan. Remove and drain on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.

While the potatoes are baking, combine the sour cream, cheese, melted butter, and bacon bits. When the potatoes are ready, remove from the oven. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the center of the potatoes leaving 1/4 inch of potato next to the skin. Mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. I prefer leaving mine rather chunky. Add the potato to the sour cream mixture and mix well. The ingredients you add are totally up to you. It’s the beauty of this recipe…just add what you love.

Heap the potato mixture into the potato shells. Top with sliced scallions and additional cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden. You can also place them under a broiler for a few minutes for a crunchier topping.
