Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 potatoes
1 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
⅛ cup bacon bits
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high until they are soft; approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Cut the potatoes in half vertically. Scoop the inside out of the potatoes, until 1/4 inch of the potato shell remains.
  • Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan. Place the potatoes in hot oil, fry for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes on paper towels.
  • Fill the potato shells with cheese and bacon bits. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream.
