Double Baked Stuffed Potatoes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prick potatoes with fork and rub with a bit of butter. Place on oven rack and back for 45-55 minutes or until potatoes are soft when pressed with fingers. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully cut in half lengthwise. Remove cooked flesh from potato skins, leaving about 1/4" shell of flesh and skin. Place cooked flesh in large mixer bowl. Add butter and beat until combined. Stir in sour cream, bacon, cheese, salt, and pepper and beat for 1 minute until fluffy. Spoon or pipe mixture back into potato shells and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are beginning to turn golden brown on the edges and are slightly puffed.
