MOM'S FAMOUS HALF-SHELL POTATOES



Mom's Famous Half-Shell Potatoes image

My mother's simple recipe for twice-baked potatoes. I've experimented using sour cream in the filling and cooked crumbled bacon, slivered green onions and even crab or baby shrimp for topping before baking -- but I still like her original recipe best.
