Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Scrub 4 large baking potatoes clean and pierce each with a fork once or twice.
- Bake potatoes for about 1 hour, or until tender when squeezed.
- Let potatoes cool slightly, then cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato attached to the skin.
- In a large bowl, mash the potato insides with 1/4 cup milk or light cream, 3 thinly sliced green onions, salt to taste, and 2 tablespoons butter until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the mashed mixture back into the potato skin boats.
- Top each potato half with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
- Sprinkle 4 slices of crisped and crumbled bacon and a dash of paprika over the cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top.
Notes
Reheat leftover potatoes in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
