Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 F.
• Poke holes in rinsed potatoes, rub with olive oil and salt, place on baking sheet and cook 60-70 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking prepare the bacon as you normally would
• Dice onions.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove from oven and allow to cool 15-20 minutes or until you can handle them comfortably.
• Once potatoes have cooled cut them in half and scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. (You can save half the skins to mix as well if you wish; be sure to coarsely chop the skins before placing them in the mixing bowl).
• Turn oven back on to 350F.
• Mix cheese, sour cream, bacon, and onions into the potatoes with a spoon or electric mixer.
• Line muffin pan with cupcake/muffin liners and scoop mixture into liners.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.
