Twice Baked Potatoes

Serves four …

4 large russet potatoes

8 slices bacon

1 cup sour cream

½ cup milk

4 tablespoons butter

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

8 green onions, sliced

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, place bacon in large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towel, crumble into a bowl and set aside.
4. When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl – save skins.
5. To the potato flesh, add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, ½ cup shredded cheese, and ½ of the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions, and bacon.
6. Bake for 15 minutes.
