Twice Baked, or Stuffed Potatoes

Bake 4-6 potatoes (can microwave). Cool.

For larger potatoes, slice in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out whites (sometimes I use a melon ball scoop,) using both halves to make two "stuffed" potatoes. Leave about a 1/2 inch border. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, and salt lightly. For smaller potatoes, slice the top 1/3 off lengthwise, and scoop.

Add (to potato "pulp") 1 tsp. butter,1 c sour cream, 1 c grated cheese, salt, pepper, pre-cooked bacon bits,  anything you like on your baked potato. Spoon this mixture back into potato "skin" then sprinkle with chives or chopped green onions, salt and pepper, and bake for about 20-30 mins at 350.
