Mary Lee's Original Stuffed Baked Potatoes
6 large Idaho potatoes
8 ounces sour cream
1 stick margarine (or butter)
1 jar Hormel Bacon-Bits
1 or 2 cups shredded sharp or extra-sharp cheddar cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Paprika
Heat oven to 400o. Bake potatoes 1 hour or until done if very
large. Slice lengthwise and scoop out the potato with a large
spoon, keeping potato shells intact, and place in large mixing
bowl.
To hot potatoes, add all ingredients except Paprika. Mix well
and stuff into potato shells. Sprinkle with Paprika.
Set oven to 350o. Spray large baking sheet with non-stick
cooking spray. Place stuffed potatoes on baking sheet. Bake for
15 to 20 minutes until bubbling and lightly browned on top.
------------------
This is the basic recipe - amounts can be scaled up or down
depending on the number and size of the potatoes and personal
preference.
