Twice Baked Potatoes

I went to a Baby Shower recently and we made freezer meals for the new Mom as our presents and activity. I loved the idea! And, I loved the meals. My friend, Lori Kimberlin, shared her recipes with us. I want to share them with you!

"I made these up years ago and have been making them ever since. They are always a big hit. These potatoes make a wonderful side dish for any meal and are terrific heated up the next day for lunch."

Ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter

 

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 8 green onions, sliced, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
4. 
   
5. When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
6. 
   

(We froze the potato skins at this point, wrapped in foil. To prepare them to eat, remove them from the freezer the night before and allow to thaw in the refrigeratore. Then bake according to the recipe.) 

(I also think that you could leave them frozen and wrapped in foil, then place them in the 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes. If you want them crisped, unwrap at the end and allow to continue baking to your desired browness.)

1. Bake them at 350 degrees for another 15 minutes.
