Twice Baked Potatoes.

Frozen on a baking sheet, these spuds are ready to go directly
 into the oven when you are ready for them!
Ingredients:
Potatoes
Butter
Milk or Cream
Salt
Pepper
Cheddar cheese
Bacon, cooked and crumbled or cut up into very small pieces
Onion soup mix
Green onion
(The amounts you used of each of these ingredients depend on the number of potatoes)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash potatoes.
3. Bake until soft inside, about 45 minutes-1 hour+ depending on the number of potatoes.
4. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the middles carefully, within ¼ inch of the skin. Put potato pulp in a bowl.
5. Mix in desired ingredients with the potato pulp. I used butter, milk, salt, pepper, onion soup mix, cheddar cheese, turkey bacon and green onion. You may also use sour cream, cream cheese, chives or anything else you might use to top a potato. Mash all ingredients together, like mashed potatoes. I mixed in the butter and milk first and made mashed potatoes. I just eye-balled the amounts until I reached the consistency I wanted. Then I mixed in the other ingredients in amounts I thought looked good.
6. Scoop spoonfuls of the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells.
7. Place on a baking tray and put in the freezer, until they are frozen solid. (flash freeze)
8. Take them off the baking tray and put them in a freezer bag. They won’t stick together because they were flash frozen
9. To bake, place frozen potatoes on a greased baking sheet. Bake for approximately 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees or until heated through. For defrosted potatoes, bake approximately 25 minutes.
