Serves 8 - Our Best Bites
Ingredients:
4 medium baking potatoes
½ cup sour cream
1 oz (1/4 cup) crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup milk or buttermilk
4 Tbs real butter, cut into chunks
¾ tsp salt
Dash pepper
½ t garlic powder
8 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Grated cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 oz (1/4 cup) crumbled blue cheese
¼ cup milk or buttermilk
4 Tbs real butter, cut into chunks
¾ tsp salt
Dash pepper
½ t garlic powder
8 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Grated cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry potatoes. Rub them lightly with a bit of shortening or vegetable oil (helps crisp the skin) and place directly on oven rack, or a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are done.
Remove potatoes and let cool just a bit. Cut each potato in half and hollow out each potato. You may want to hold them with a potholder as they will still be hot!
Scoop out the insides and place in a bowl. Mash, and add butter, sour cream, blue cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy. Carefully spoon mixture back into potato shells. Place in a baking dish. Return to hot oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Remove and sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese over each potato- bake an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
