A wonderful appetizer for you and your family to enjoy. Ingredients:
6 potatoes |
1 cup vegetable oil |
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese |
1/8 cup bacon bits |
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream |
Directions:

2. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high until they are soft; approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
