Freezer Food Friday

Last December, I got two 50 lb bags of potatoes and I made these and some potato bread.

Twice Baked Potatoes

~

4 medium baking potatoes

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup sour cream

1/3 cup cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon milk

4 slices American cheese, or other good melting cheese

~

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Scrub and pierce potatoes and bake for one hour, or until fully cooked.

3. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly.

4. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out potato, careful not to tear the skins, and place in large bowl.

5. Set skins aside.

6. Add butter and salt to potatoes, and mash until smooth.

7. Add sour cream, and mash until combined.

8. Add cheese and mash until combined.

9. Add one tablespoon of milk and mash.

10. If the mixture needs to be more creamy, add more milk, one tablesppon at a time until desired consistancy.

11. Add aditional salt to taste, if needed.

12. Fill empty skins with potato mixture and top each potato with half slice of cheese.

13. Return to oven and reheat until hot.

14. Note- You may refrigerate them to reheat at a later time, or you can freeze them.

15. If you freeze them, delay placing the cheese slice on top until you are ready to bake them, and you might want to add more milk to the mix before filling the potatoes, as after freezing them they seem to reheat less creamy.
