Twice baked spuds

Post by Ghurkin »

1 or 2 big spuds per person
fried diced bacon bits
creme cheese
grated tasty cheese
garlic salt
oilve oil.

wash and prick spuds all over, in a tray coat with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt, bake in a hot oven or in my case a weber bbq for about 45 minutes.
using a teatowel to hold the hot spuds cut them in half lengthways, then using a spoon scoop out most of the potato "meat" leaving about a 6mm shell with the peel on, dont be pedantic about the thickness just make a sizeable hollow in the spud halves,
dont worry if its not quite cooked all the way through, as long as you can scoop it out thats all that matters.

mix the scooped out potato with grated cheese (lots), creme cheese and half the bacon bits, use a potato masher then whip it up with a fork.

fill each potato shell with the mixed potato/cheese/bacon mixture, sprinkle some more bacon bits and grated cheese on top and bung them back in the oven for about 20- 30 minutes till they go all golden brown and you cant leave them any longer.

these never last long at my place and everybody loves them, especially reheated the next day for lunch.
