Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 baking potatoes, large
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup milk, heated
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/3 cup green onion top, chopped
1/4 cup bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, sharp

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash potatoes and pierce several times with a fork.
Place potatoes on a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 1.5 to 2 hours (or until fork-tender).
When potatoes are baked, remove from oven and cool for about 15 minutes (or until easy to handle).
Slice each potato in half (length wise) and scoop out contents into a large mixing bowl - be sure to leave 1/4 thick inch shell.
Mix together - potato content and sour cream and gradually add heated milk.
Stir in salt, pepper and garlic to mixture.
Fill a large baggie with mixture and cut off the bottom tip of the bag (making a pipe decorator).
Use the baggie mixture to fill your potato halves.
Place potato halves on a cookie sheet and garnish with cheddar cheese, bacon and green onion tops.
Bake potato halves in a 400 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
