Twice Baked Potatoes

January 19, 2007

Twice Baked Potatoes is an easy and tasty side dish for steak or just whenever your in the mood for something good.  Pictures to follow as soon I get a USB cable for this camera.

You will need foil, medium to large potatoes, chives, bacon bits, sour cream, and cheese (yellow American or cheddar works great). The first thing you need to do is wash the potatoes, wrap them in foil and then bake at 400F (approx. 205C) till they are easy to poke with a fork.

Let them cool; burning yourself is not a good idea. Once they have cooled scoop out the insides of the potatoes leaving the skin intact except for an oval at the top. Now take the potato insides and combine it with:

sour cream (2 ounces/60 ml for every medium sized potato)

cheese (1 oz./30mL per medium potato)

bacon bits (1/2 oz./15 g per medium potato)

chives (1/2 oz./15 g per medium potato)

melted butter (1 tbs/15 ml per medium potato)

After these are combined, spoon the mixture back into the potato skins and bake until the cheese is melted and a slight crust has formed on top. Remove and serve.

Yummy.
