I like these potatoes because they're so versatile. They can be served alongside a fancy entree when company comes...or they can stand as the main course with a salad for an easy supper. Either way, they're wonderful. My family loves them.Debbie Jones, California, Maryland Ingredients:
6 large baking potatoes |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup milk or heavy whipping cream |
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1 tablespoon minced chives |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
dash pepper |
paprika |
