Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream ( I use fat-free and no one knows the difference!)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 slices bacon, crisp and crumbled ( or 1 c. real bacon bits)
Directions:
Microwave (or bake in oven at 400 for 1hr) the potatoes until done.
Allow to cool a bit.
Slice about a 1″ strip of the skin off the top of each potato.
Carefully scoop out the pulp, placing in a large bowl, and leaving potato shells intact.
Mash the potato pulp along with the margarine.
Add milk, sour cream, cheese, salt and pepper; combining well.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, piling high.
Top with the crumbled bacon or bacon bits.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.
