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.
