Triple-Onion Baked Potatoes

Triple-Onion Baked Potatoes
I've been making twice-baked potatoes since I got married 19 years ago, and I'm constantly changing my recipe. This version features a rich filling of onions, bacon, sour cream and cheese. I like to serve these potatoes with baked ham. -Char Shanahan, Schererville, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 pound sliced bacon, diced
