directions
- Wash and slice potatoes in half in the direction that will best offer a tipless boat.
- Wrap in foil and bake for one hour or 1 hour 15 minutes in a 350°F oven - you will know they are ready when you squeeze them and they give - if they don't give - they aren't quite ready yet.
- Remove from oven and cool.

- Add cream cheese - pepper salt and butter and mash until nicely blended and smooth.
- Scoop the mash potato back into the boats - heap them up.
- Sprinkle bacon bits and chives / onion greens on top.
- Put back in a 350F oven for approximately 30 minutes - you just want them warmed up again but don't want to cause a crust.
- and EAT ! Buon Apetite !
- These potatoes are pictured with a nice top sirlon beef steak marinated in my "Red Wine Beef Marinade" - have a peek - they go really well together.

Hi and thank you for visiting my about me page...
I have 2 very handsome sons that are my pride and joy. My partner is the man i was to marry when i was 18 years old - unfortunately we got cold feet and i moved away - we have reunited after searching for each other for 25 years and are making our home in Calgary - we are eventually going to make it to the altar. Our rescue dog Nikki and my son's Cat Saichel are our fur babies.
I was the lucky recipient of a premium membership donated by a very generous chef here at Zaar and to show my appreciation i have tried to continue to fulfill my responsibilities to ensure premimum membership continues. However, I have run into a little snag but am working on it. I am looking forward to the day when I can reciprocate and offer someone else the joy of premium.
Pet peeves in life are inconsiderate & ignorant people & slow drivers.
Life goes by fast - why not drive the same speed......
