4 medium baking potatoes
½ Cup sour cream
1oz (1/4 cup) crumbled bleu cheese
¼ Cup milk
4 Tbs real butter, cut into chunks
¾ tsp salt
Dash pepper
½ t garlic powder
8 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Grated cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry potatoes. Rub them lightly with a bit of shortening (helps crisp the skin) and place directly on oven rack, or a cookie sheet. Bake for one hour or until potatoes are done.
2. Remove potatoes and let cool just a bit. Cut an opening on the top and hollow out each. You may want to hold them with a potholder as they will still be hot!
3. Scoop out the insides and place in a bowl. Mash, and add butter, sour cream, bleu cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy. Carefully spoon mixture back into potato shells. Place in a baking dish. Return to hot oven and bake for 12 minutes.
4. Remove and sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese over each potato and bake an additional 3-5 minutes.
