By lewolfe50

This versatile classic from Debbie Jones of California, Maryland has a rich filling enhanced with onions and chives. “These scrumptious potatoes can be the main course, or a side. Either way, they‘re tasty!“

Ingredients

• 2 medium baking potatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup 2% milk
• 1 bacon strip, cooked and crumbled
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon minced chives
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Bake potatoes at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a thin shell.

In a small bowl, mash the pulp with butter. Stir in the milk, bacon, onion, chives, salt, pepper and 1/3 cup cheese. Spoon into potato shells. Top with remaining cheese.

Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.
