How to Make Madeover Twice Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prick large russet potatoes (about 6-8 medium) several times with a fork.
  3. Bake for 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Let cool slightly.
  5. Once cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard.
  6. Scoop out the potato pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
  7. In a large bowl, mash the potato pulp with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup milk (add more, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed for desired consistency), 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  9. Fill each potato shell with the mixture.
  10. Place the stuffed potatoes on an ungreased baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  12. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup extra shredded cheddar cheese.
  13. Bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
