I worked at Ruby Tuesdays for many years and this is how they made em'. Great Football food or snack with a movie. I always have to make more when I make them for Football parties because they are gobbled up quickly. Ingredients:
8 potatoes |
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil |
11 ounces shredded cheddar cheese |
3 tablespoons bacon bits (i use the hormel kind in a jar) |
16 ounces sour cream |
2 green onions, chopped |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high until they are soft; approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
3. Cut the potatoes in half vertically. Scoop the inside out of the potatoes, until 1/4 inch of the potato shell remains.
4. Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan. Place the potatoes in hot oil, fry for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes on paper towels.
5. Fill the potato shells with cheese and bacon bits and sprinkle with green onions. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan.
6. Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream.
