My kids gobble up these twice baked potatoes.  Always a welcomed side to serve at a barbecue, they go great with Tri-tip!”

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven 400 degrees.  Wash potatoes and wrap each one in foil.  Cook in the oven for 1 hour.  Allow potatoes to cool down some.
2. Cook bacon until crisp.  Allow to cool and then crumble into small pieces.
3. Cut potatoes in half.  Using a spoon, carefully scoop out potato from skin and add to a large bowl.  Set skins aside.
4. Add bacon, chives, bacon grease, pepper, salt, sour cream, and cheese to the bowl (keep out some bacon, chives, and cheese for the topping).  Mix and mash well.
5. Fill each potato skin with potato filling and place on a cookie sheet.  Top potatoes with cheese, bacon, and chives.  Place in the oven and cook @ 375 for 30 minutes.
   

 

Chef Notes:

*You can also use russet potatoes.  I prefer red potatoes because they have a lower glycemic index.
