Twice Baked Potatoes


Is there a better combination of foods then Potatoes and Cheese? I really don't think so. Take any type of potato, prepared any way, and top it with some cheese, and you are guaranteed to enjoy it.  What are your favorite food combos?

INGREDIENTS:
4 medium baking potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
1 - 2 tbsp milk
1/4 cup chives, chopped

DIRECTIONS:
Scrub potatoes with water and pat dry.  Prick potatoes with fork and bake at 425 degrees for 40 to 60 or until potatoes are soft when pricked with a fork.  Let potatoes cool for about ten minutes or until they are cool enough to handle.  Cut a lengthwise slice off the top and discard.  Scoop the pulp out of the potatoes and place in a bowl.  Mash the pulps with a masher.  Add the sour cream, garlic salt, pepper, and milk and stir until smooth.  Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese, the bacon, and chives.  Divide evenly among the potato shells and place in a 2 quart baking dish.  Bake, uncovered in a 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese melts.
