Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice Baked Potatoes are a great side dish that can be made in advanced and it looks like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen!

4 baking potatoes
6 green onions, chopped
6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup light sour cream
1/3 cup milk, I use reduced fat
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, I use 2%
salt and pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake 2 of the baking potatoes.

Peel the other 2 potatoes and cube in 1 inch cubes, boil until tender.

Once baking potatoes are done in the oven pull them out and let them cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut in half (lengthwise) and hollow out...add potato that you hollow out to the potatoes that you have boiled and whip all the potatoes together. Adding milk, butter, salt, pepper, half of the green onions, half of the cheese and sour cream...whip all together. Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.

Spoon the potato mixture into the potato skins.

Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes.
