TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Twice Baked Potatoes


In the South when people mention "chives" they often mean green onions.  They're fine here.


6 medium baking potatoes
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 to 2 Tbsp. chopped chives
2 to 4 Tbsp. cooked crumbled bacon

Spray or rub oil all over the potatoes, then salt and pepper them.  Bake the potatoes 45 to 60 minutes at 400 degrees or until tender. (pinch them through a kitchen towel to test doneness).


Cut in halves, lengthwise is traditional but equatorially is a nice change and it takes up less room on the plate.  Scoop potatoes out of shells into bowl and mash.  

Add ingredients and beat until light and fluffy.  Spoon back into shells.  Sprinkle with cheese and bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes until hot.  Serves 6.
