Ingredients:  
4 Baking potatoes
2 t butter softened
kosher salt
1 small tub sour cream
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup or so heavy cream
bacon bits - homemade or "real" (Hormel) bacon bits in the package
shredded cheddar cheese
green onions, thinly sliced.

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wash/scrub potatoes and dry well. Rub a little butter on each and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Place in preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour or until soft. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.

Using a potholder, hold potato and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out potato into mixing bowl. Set skins aside on a baking sheet.

To potatoes, add 1 stick of butter and mix with a mixer until broken up. Add a little cream and mix again. Keep adding cream until mixture is pretty smooth but not wet. Add 2 big spoonfuls or so of sour cream. Taste and add more if you like. Add salt and pepper or garlic salt to taste. Mix until smooth - sometimes it's impossible to get all chunks out - that's ok. Place potato mixture back into skins with a spoon. Fill at least to the top of the skin. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon and green onions. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until heated through.

Personal Notes:
These have become my most requested recipe. I hesitate to tell people what the ingredients are because it might scare them off. BUT - they're only made once a year - so go ahead and splurge a little. Nothing with that much fat could taste badly. I laughed when I put it in the category of "vegetable".
