Ingredients List
- Spring Salad:
- 1 Bag of Spinach, rinsed and dried
- 1 handful of Dried Cranberries (or more to taste)
- 2-3 Tbs. Toasted Slivered Almonds
- 1 Orange cut into sections
- 4 slices Cook Crumbled Bacon
- Cheese of Choice (Motzerella, or Crumbled Feta)
- Balsamic Vinegarette Dressing
- Twice Baked Potatoes:
- 4 Large Baking Potatoes
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Milk (I usually use whole)
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 cup of Butter
- 3 Slices of Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 Cup of Sharp Cheddar Cheese, plus more for garnish
- 1 Tbs. Green Onions
Directions
Preheat Oven to 375.
Wash Potatoes, puncture each potatoe with fork a few times to release steam.
Bake potatoes at 375 degrees for about 1 hour or when tender when poked through with a fork. Carefully slice potatoes in half lengthwise and let cool. Turn oven up to 400 degrees.
When cool enough, spoon out center and place in a large bowl. Leave a little potatoe around the rim so that the skins don”™t sink and fall inwarrd.
Add softened butter, milk, and salt. Beat with electric mixer until whipped and potatoes are creamy and smooth. I love my Kitchen Aid mixure for this! Stir in green onions, cheese, and bacon. With a large spoon, fill potatoe skins really full.
Place potatoes on a shallow baking tray and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place in oven and heat for another 15-20 mintues until heated through and cheese has melted.
