Submitted by Rise3834

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Yields: 8 halves

ingredients

• 4 large baking potatoes
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1⁄2 cup chopped white onions or 1/2 cup yellow onion
• 6 green onions, including the top
• bacon bits or bacon, pieces
• shredded cheddar cheese or colby cheese
• milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper

directions

1. Most of the ingredients are to taste and also depend on the size of the potatoes.
2. Bake potatoes as you would normally do (or as a time saver use your microwave oven).
3. Allow potatoes to cool enough for handling (or you can do ahead of time however is is easier to scoop them out while warm).
4. Cut each potato in half length wise.
5. Scoop out most potato from the shell and put it into a large mixing bowl saving shells.
6. Add the butter, garlic salt, pepper, 1/2 cup of onion, some of the bacon*, cheese* and green onions* (*youwant to reserve some of these for the garnish on top).
7. Add enough milk to allow your mixer to work.
8. With your hand mixer, mix all ingredients but allow the mixture to remain somewhat lumpy.
9. (If my potato mixture has cooled before mixing, I pop the bowl into the microwave for about 2 minutes so that mixing will be easier).
10. Now refill the potato shells with the mixture placing them on a cookie sheet and top with the remaining cheese and then bacon bits or pieces and then green onions.
11. Pop into the oven on 350 degrees for about 15 minutes and voila!
12. Note: These refrigerate and microwave well for leftovers so I alwasy make plenty.
13. If my most PG& SO could have these everyday they would, they are a meal in and of themselves!

I left out the bacon bits (personal preference) but otherwise followed directions. We loved them. I would eat these everyday too but I better not. Leftover the next day it rocked!
