Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large baking potatoes, scrubbed and oiled, prick with a fork to let steam escape.
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup of blue cheese crumbled
6 strips of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
3 green onions, chopped fine
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
enough milk to make creamy
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. BAKE THE POTATOES: Wash the potatoes, dry them, and then rub then with oil. Prick holes with a fork to let steam escape. Bake at 400 for one hour. Cut potatoes lengthwise. Use a tea towel to hold the hot potato, and scoop out the inside of the potato with a spoon into a medium mixing bowl. Take care not to tear the potato skins.
2. PREPARE THE FILLING: Add sour cream, onion, parsley, blue cheese, butter, salt and pepper and mix with a hand mixer, adding as much milk as necessary to make the potato mixture creamy but firm. Now fill the potato shells, using the tines of a fork to fluff up the potatoes. Place all the potatoes on a baking sheet and put them in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and serve. Enjoy!
3. COOK'S TIP: Tastes do differ! You may enjoy more sour cream, or a different type of cheese, don't be afraid to change this one to suit your taste.
