LOADED POTATOES

Category: Twice Baked Potatoes

7 medium sized potatoes, washed
1/2 sup sour cream
3 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
4 green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8-10 slices bacon,cooked and chopped

Bake potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out pulp, leaving enough for the skin to retain its shape.

In bowl, combine scooped potatoes, butter, and sour cream. Mash together well. Add cheese, mash. Stir in all other ingredients. Spoon filling into potato shells.

NOTES FOR BAKING:
* To bake from frozen: Place on cookie sheet in 350 oven for half an hour, top with cheese and return to oven until melted.
* To bake from room temp: Top with cheese and place in oven until heated through.
* Can also be microwaved from frozen or room temp as well. I microwave my frozen ones for a minute and a half to two minutes.
