Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 medium potatoes (washed and dried )
  • ¼ cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Poke holes in the potatoes with a fork. Bake the potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out some of the potato flesh into a large bowl, leaving about ¼ inch of potato inside the skin. Set aside the extra potato that was scooped out.
  • Brush entire surface of each skin, inside and out, with butter. Place skins on cookie sheet, face up, and broil for 6-8 min.
  • Use a potato masher to stir remaining potato, sour cream, cheese, bacon bits, and salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the filling into the skins. Sprinkle shredded cheese and extra bacon bits over the tops.
  • Broil for about 2 more minutes. Top with sour cream or ranch if desired.
