STUFFED POTATOS

Here's what you'll need:

Crumbled cooked bacon
Swiss Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Green Onion (optional)
Sour Cream
Butter

Where's how to do it:

Wash potatoes; dry; rub with oil; prick skins. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done.

Prepare your filling in a separate bowl.

Cut 1/4-inch slice off top of baked potatoes and scoop out pulp, leaving shells intact about 1/4 inch thick. Mash pulp and add your desired filling.

If serving potatoes right away i like to brush them with a little butter and slide them under the broiler for a minute to brown the tops
