Here's my creamy and rich version of twice-baked potatoes. Always a treat, these stuffed potatoes go very well with the Chicken Cordon Bleu for my holiday dinner. —Merle Dyck, Elkford, British Columbia

Ingredients

  • 4 medium baking potatoes
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 to 4 green onions, sliced

Directions

  1. Bake potatoes at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly. Reduce heat to 350°.
  2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell. In a large bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the sour cream, cheese, bacon and onions. Spoon or pipe into potato shells.
  3. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
