4-5 large potatoes, I use whatever I have on hand, no room for being picky here!
2-3 tablespoons butter
4 oz cream cheese
1/3 - 1/2 cup sour cream
5 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbles
1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
3 green onions, sliced thin
salt and pepper to taste
Peel and cube potatoes, place in saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil until softened.
Drain potatoes and mash with a potato masher.
Add butter, cream cheese, sour cream. Mash together with the potato masher.
Add 1/2 the bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions. Stir until well combined and salt and pepper to taste.
Place potatoes in a buttered casserole dish and cook in a 350* oven for 30 minutes or until heated through and a little browned on top.
Before serving garnish top with remaining bacon.
Obviously, potatoes come in different sizes, you may need to adjust amounts based on how much potato you have after you mash them. Good news is you can't mess this up!
It's no secret my family loves Twice Baked Potatoes. When I make them the boys always want me to use large baking potatoes, because I usually make one each and they want a lot of potato! So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to make up my own version. Doug and I were the only ones here to enjoy this yummy dish. We had a large rib-eye steak and these potatoes and definitely over-ate!
