6-8 Russet potatoes
10 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
salt and pepper
1 stick butter, melted
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
In a preheated, 400 degree oven bake the potatoes which have been washed and poked with a fork for 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Cut the potatoes in half, lengthwise and scoop out the inside into a medium bowl, leaving the skin with just enough insides to hold it's shape. Add the butter and sour cream and milk. Using a mixer combine just until mixed. DO NOT OVERMIX or you will end up with gluey mashed potatoes! Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the potato halves and top with the cheese, bacon and green onions. Salt and pepper. You can put them back into the warm oven for a minute to melt the cheese, if desired.
