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.

Steps:

• Scrub the best sized 12 potatoes in the bag. Poke each with a fork and bake in oven at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
• While those bake, peel the rest of the potatoes and boil until soft. Drain.
• Cut baked potatoes lengthwise and scoop insides into a bowl. You should end up with 24 shells. Place these on cookie sheets.
• In mixer with wire whisk, combine one package cream cheese, one stick butter, and 1/2 cup sour cream until blended.
• Add scooped insides of baked potatoes and a little less than half of the boiled potatoes and mix on low speed.
• Add some milk and mix until it is the consistency you like.
• Add garlic powder, parsley or chives, and salt. I just add it until it tastes good. I think about 1 1/2 teaspoons of each.
• Fold in half of the shredded cheddar. You can use more or less, whatever you like.
• Fill shells heaping and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until tops start to brown.
• While those bake, repeat the recipe with the rest of the boiled potatoes. Place mixture in two baking dishes (foil bread pans work well) and freeze for later. ***To bake, thaw completely and bake in oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until top starts to brown.
• I freeze 8 of the baked filled shells individually for lunches, 8 more get frozen in a foil pan for later, and 8 end up being a side dish to dinner!

TWICE BAKED POTATOES (OAMC)

Steps:

• Bake potatoes for 1 hour in 400*F oven.
• Cut a oval wedge out of the top of each potato while still hot and scoop out pulp. Be careful to leave a small amount around the edges of the skin to help keep skin shape. Set skins aside on large baking sheet.
• Mash pulp with a hand masher to get rid of lumps. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste; add butter and continue to hand mash together.
• Add the hot milk 1/4 cup at a time to prevent adding too much and use a mixer to blend together on medium speed. Add more milk and repeat as many times as necessary to get a regular mashed potato consistency.
• Add parsley. Start mixing together with wooden spoon and slowly add (a little at a time to prevent clumping) 3/4 of the cheese.Now would be the time to mix in the optional ingredients.
• Restuff the skins with the potato mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tops start to turn brown. Remove and top with remaining cheese. Return to oven until top cheese is melted.
