Twice Baked Potatoes

By orchidgal

Baked Yukon Gold potatoes are topped off with a creamy mixture of potatoes, sour cream, bacon, chives and cheese.

Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, or other baking potatoes
• 1/3 cup sour cream (more or less, depending on the size of the potatoes
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tbs. fresh chives, chopped
• 2 tbs. cooked bacon, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Clean the potatoes and prick the skins. Either bake the potatoes in the oven at 425 degree for 45 minutes or in the microwave for 8 minutes until almost completely cooked through.

Slice each potato lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Put the scoopings in a bowl and add the sour cream, salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed.

Place the potato shells on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells. Carefully layer cheese, bacon and chives on each of the potatoes.

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
