INGREDIENTS

  • 3-4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 (8ounce)package chive & onion cream cheese
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (chipotle cheddar is great)
  • crumbled cooked bacon bits
  • milk
  • salt
  • pepper
  • butter

DIRECTIONS

  1. Fork the potatoes to let steam escape and cook potatoes in oven or microwave until done.
  2. When potatoes are done, cut each potato in half and scoop out inside leaving just enough for potato to not fall apart.
  3. Place all potato that you scoop out in a large bowl.
  4. Salt and pepper the potato mash while still hot and pour in just a tad milk and about a tablespoon of butter and mash until combined.
  5. Add in cream cheese bit by bit, and more milk or butter to your desired consistency.
  6. Sprinkle in a bit of cheese to potato mix (you could also add in some of the bacon now if you like).
  7. Stuff the potato shells then top with more cheese and bacon bits.
  8. Cook at 450°F for about 12 minutes or until cheese has melted and begun to bubble.
  9. Enjoy.
