Cheesy Baked Potatoes

By thegreatpablo

"This is a perfect recipe for two but I also prepare it in larger quantities for special occasions when we have dinner guests. One of these potatoes is practically a meal in itself"

Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash of pepper
• 2 tablespoons sliced green onion
• 2 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Preparation

Step 1

1. Bake potatoes at 375 degrees F for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato; scoop out the pulp leaving a thin shell. In a bowl, mash the pulp, egg, milk, mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of cheese, salt and pepper. Spoon into potato shells. Top with onion, bacon and remaining cheese.

2. Place in a small ungreased baking pan. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.
