BLT Twice-Baked Potatoes Recipe

By lisapearce

Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 4 medium potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, patted dry and chopped
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup shredded lettuce

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high 12-15 minutes or until tender, turning once.
When cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells. In a small bowl, mash pulp with mayonnaise, adding cheese, bacon, tomatoes, green onion, salt and pepper.
Spoon into potato shells. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with lettuce. Yield: 8 servings.
