Re-stuffed Potatoes with Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, green onions

 

Since the holidays are upon us  and next Thursday, November 22, 2012 is Thanksgiving. However, we will be celebrating out of town, so this week I will have a lot of sides, available on my site. Such as Tomatoes stuffed with Stuffing, Yummy Yam Butternut Squash soup, Creamed Corn plus this recipe of Re-Stuffed Potatoes. This is one of my go to recipes that can be done a day ahead, especially during the holidays, because its easy. Depending on the size of the potato it can be used as a side dish or a main dish. I love to serve these on Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve with Prime Rib and Yorkshire Pudding, Cream Spinach and these re-stuffed potatoes. When we get closer to the Christmas holidays I will post all of these recipes. But for now here we go.

Re-stuffed Potatoes ingredients:
4 Potatoes baked large about an hour
4 slices of bacon shredded
1/4 cup green onions chopped
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons butter

I cut top off the potatoes carefully make sure you do not rip.









Next hollow out the Potatoes and set aside. 

Place potatoes in a large bowl,(I love my Kitchen Aide Mixer so you will here me talk about it a lot), Or place in Large bowl for Kitchen Aide Mixer.  Next add Chopped Onions, Cheese, Sour Cream and Bacon and turn on mixer until thoroughly mixed.

Take potato mixture and re-stuff in skins.
Bake in Oven 15-20 min at 350 degrees

Bon Appetite

Enjoy!
