Ingredients

• 4 Baking Potatoes
• 6 oz. (1 1/2 cup) pack shredded Cheddar Cheese

• 1/2 stick butter
• 1/2 small package REAL bacon pieces

Directions

• You can either microwave or bake your potatoes in the oven:
• ** Oven: Bake for 90 minutes at 400 degrees
  • Microwave: Cook on high for 4-6 minutes per potato(varies by microwave, make sure center is soft)
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise
• Scoop potatoes from skin, making sure to leave the skin in tact so you can refill them later (be sure to leave enough so the skin does not collapse
• Mix half the package of cheese, 4 spoonfuls sour cream, and butter with potatoes
• Refill potato skins, topping with remaining cheese and bacon pieces
• Return potatoes to oven (leave in halfs) until cheese is melted

Comments

The portions aren’t an exact science, you can adjust them as you want. If you don’t like sour cream, don’t worry, there’s only a hint of flavor and it really does make them better (I’m not a sour cream fan). Baked Potatoes are healthy but not with cheese, butter, and bacon. But who wants potatoes without the good stuff? These make great a great side dish to steak or chicken, or by themselves as appetizers / party snacks.
