OOH what can I say - these are amazing - you will be in potato heaven ! Ingredients:
5 large baking potatoes |
250 ml chive & onion cream cheese |
1 tablespoon butter |
5 -6 slices cooked bacon (or bacon bits) |
salt |
pepper |
green onion tops or chives |
Directions:
1. Wash and slice potatoes in half in the direction that will best offer a tipless boat.
2. Wrap in foil and bake for one hour or 1 hour 15 minutes in a 350°F oven - you will know they are ready when you squeeze them and they give - if they don't give - they aren't quite ready yet.
3. Remove from oven and cool.
4. Scoop all your potato flesh into a large bowl - pick the 6 best boats and Discard the remaining.
5. Add cream cheese - pepper salt and butter and mash until nicely blended and smooth.
6. Scoop the mash potato back into the boats - heap them up.
7. Sprinkle bacon bits and chives / onion greens on top.
8. Put back in a 350F oven for approximately 30 minutes - you just want them warmed up again but don't want to cause a crust.
9. and EAT ! Buon Apetite !
10. These potatoes are pictured with a nice top sirlon beef steak marinated in my Red Wine Beef Marinade - have a peek - they go really well together.
