Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup bacon bits (real Bacon)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup Miracle Whip or 1/3 cup salad dressing
1/2 cup sweet onion (diced very fine)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon roasted garlic (or you can use Garlic Salt)
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

Wrap potatoes in foil and bake in a 400* oven for 45-60 minutes. When potatoes are done, unwrap and let them cool.
When potatoes have completely cooled, slice them in half, and with a small spoon; gently remove the center and you should have a potato boat.
Place scooped out potatoes in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, mixing well.
Reserve a handful of shredded cheese for the topping.
Using a spoon fill the boats with the mashed mixture and top with the reserved cheese.
Bake on 375* for 10-15 minute then on broil, watching closely so they do not burn until the cheese is slightly browned.
Top Potato Boats with sour cream and more chives (optional of course), and Enjoy!
