Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 12 cup butter
  • 12 cup chopped white onions or 12 cup yellow onion
  • 6 green onions, including the top
  • bacon bits or bacon, pieces
  • shredded cheddar cheese or colby cheese
  • milk
  • 12 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Method

  • Most of the ingredients are to taste and also depend on the size of the potatoes.
  • Bake potatoes as you would normally do (or as a time saver use your microwave oven).
  • Allow potatoes to cool enough for handling (or you can do ahead of time however is is easier to scoop them out while warm).
  • Cut each potato in half length wise.
  • Scoop out most potato from the shell and put it into a large mixing bowl saving shells.
  • 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).
  • Add enough milk to allow your mixer to work.
  • With your hand mixer, mix all ingredients but allow the mixture to remain somewhat lumpy.
  • (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).
  • 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.
  • Pop into the oven on 350 degrees for about 15 minutes and voila!
  • Note: These refrigerate and microwave well for leftovers so I alwasy make plenty.
  • If my most PG& SO could have these everyday they would, they are a meal in and of themselves!
