Twice Baked Cheddar Potato

Twice-Baked Cheddar Potato Casserole

Ingredients

8 medium baking potatoes (about 8 ounces each)

1/2 cup butter, cubed

2/3 cup sour cream

2/3 cup 2% milk

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Bake until tender, 45-60 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce oven setting to 350°. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp and place in a large bowl; discard shells. Mash pulp with butter; stir in sour cream, milk, salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbled bacon for topping. Gently fold remaining bacon, 1 cup cheese and half the green onions into potato mixture. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and green onions; sprinkle with reserved bacon. Bake until heated through and cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes.
