Stuffed Baked Potatoes

One word, YUM!  Stuffed baked potatoes are a delicious side to any meal.  Here it goes...


2 Large Potatoes
cheddar cheese (about 2/3 cup)
milk (about 1/4 cup)
sour cream (about 1/4 cup)
2 TB butter
real bacon bits (about 2 TB)
chives (about 1 TB)


Here is my trick, after washing the potatoes and putting them in the oven to bake, pop them in the microwave for 5 minutes to get the process started.  Now, you only need to bake the potatoes for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.  On the week nights, this is a great option! 


After you let the potatoes rest, cut in half. Scoop out potato and place in a bowl.  In bowl, add cheddar cheese, milk, butter, sour cream, chives and bacon bits.  Mash all together, add less or more milk until potatoes are at the consistency you like.

Add filling to potato halves, top with cheese and chives, bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees. ENJOY :)
