ROASTED GARLIC TWICE-BAKED CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place each potato and head of garlic onto its own piece of foil, which should be large enough to fully wrap around the potato or garlic.
• Prick the potatoes several times one each side with a fork. Cut off the top of the garlic to expose the top of the cloves.
• Drizzle each potato and the heads of garlic with olive oil.
• Move to oven and bake for an hour. (I usually place them on a cookie sheet to prevent any oil from dripping and to make it easier to put in and out at once).
• Remove the potatoes and garlic from the oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
• Unwrap each potato and halve the short way (so they look like little cups, as opposed to a long "boat"). Cut off a small bit on each of the smaller, round ends so that they will sit up straight. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin edge all the way around the cup. Avoid breaking the potato skin.
• Mash the potato flesh in a medium bowl. Add sour cream, processed cheese (reserve 8 small cubes), and pepper, and beat until fluffy.
• Stuff mixture into the cups - it will be quite full, so mound on top as needed.
• Return to oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until heated through and cheese has melted.
• Top each potato half with a remaining piece of cheese and return for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted.
• Garnish the potatoes with bacon and green onions before serving.

ROASTED CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• In an 8-inch baking dish, toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Roast in a preheated 425F oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden. Flatten slightly with a fork.
• VARIATIONS:
• ROASTED POTATOES WITH SALSA: In a bowl, combine 1 cup mild- medium salsa, 1/3 cup chopped black olives, 1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese, 2 chopped green onions and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley. Drop in spoonfuls over roasted potatoes, and top with 3/4 cup crumbled tortilla chips. Return to oven to cook for 8 minutes, or until top is bubbly.
• ROASTED POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY AND LEMON; Remove roasted potatoes from oven. Toss with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoons dried), and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
• TIPS: Potatoes can be roasted, flattened, and cooled three to four hours earlier or covered and refrigerated overnight, Top with selected toppings just before final cooking, adding an extra 8-10 minutes to heat through.
