directions

  • Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Cool.
  • Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.
  • In a bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in milk, bacon, 1 cup of cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. I have found that using the full cup of milk makes the mixture too runny. I usually start with a scant 1/2 cup and then add more if necessary.
  • Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

  1. These are so good! Even better that they are a little healthier without a ton of butter and sour cream. I ended up using about 1/2 cup of milk for 3 potatoes and probably more cheese than the recipe calls for since I just threw a couple of pinches in. Were quick to make and I like that you can make them ahead of time before baking. Made for 2012 Spring PAC.
