Triple-Onion Baked Potatoes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours
YIELD: 8 servings.
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.

Ingredients
-
4 large baking potatoes
-
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
-
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
-
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
1 cup diced American cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
4 green onions, finely slices
Directions

1.
Bake potatoes at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the drippings, saute red and yellow onions until tender; set aside.

2.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving an 1/8-in. shell. In a bowl, beat the pulp, sour cream and milk until creamy. Stir in sauteed onions, American cheese and 1 cup of bacon. Spoon into potato shells.
