Ingredients

• 8 medium baking potatoes (about 8oz. each)
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 2/3 cup 2% milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled, divided
• 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese,
• divided
• 4 green onions, chopped, divided

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork.

2. Bake 45-60 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven; reduce oven setting to 350 degrees.

3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp and place in a large bowl; discard shells. Mash pulp with butter; stir in sour cream, milk, salt and pepper.

4. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbled bacon for topping. Gently fold remaining bacon, 2 cup cheese and half of the green onions into potato mixture (do not over mix).

5. Transfer mixture to a greased 11x 7-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and green onions; sprinkle with reserved bacon. Bake 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
