[recipe-ingredients]
3 baking potatoes
1 stick butter
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 heaping cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
1/4-1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic, or to taste
2 green onions
[/recipe-ingredients]
[recipe-directions]
Preheat oven to 425. Prick potatoes a few times around the center where you will slice the potatoes. Bake potatoes for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until done. Reduce heat to 350.
Cube butter and add to a large bowl. Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop potatoes leaving a thin layer of potato around the edge so the skin stays firm. Add potato pulp to the bowl with the butter. Give it a good mash. Then add some milk, cheese and bacon. Mash again. Add seasoning and rest of cheese and bacon and mash, making sure to reserve some for the topping. Place skins on a baking sheet and add the mashed potatoes to the skins. Top with extra bacon, cheese and onion. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and heated through.
