âMy daughters just go crazy over these potatoes! They tell all their friends that their mom is making the best potatoes in the world.â -Julie Putnam of Lebanon, Ohio Ingredients:
4 medium baking potatoes |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
3/4 cup plus 6 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
3/4 cup french onion dip |
1/2 cup real bacon bits |
4 green onions, chopped |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 18-22 minutes or until tender, turning once. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 3/4 cup cheese, dip, bacon, onions and pepper. Cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a thin shell. Add pulp to the mayonnaise mixture and mash.
3. Spoon into potato shells. Return to the microwave-safe plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 5 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.
