Stuffed Potatoes

 

Stuffed Potatoes

4 large potatoes, well scrubbed and pierced with a fork
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or a tex-mex blend
2-3 cup chopped green onion or chives
4-5 slices crisp turkey bacon, crumbled
4 tbsp homemade salsa (or jar)

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 375.  Bake potatoes for 1 hour or until done.  Remove from oven.

Holding the potato with a clean kitchen towel, roll potato on the counter to break up the flesh inside.  Cut a large X with a knife on the top of each potato.  Hold the ends of the potatoes and squeeze to pop open.  Top potatoes with cheese, chives, bacon and salsa.

Variation:  You can also top the potatoes with cooked broccoli and cheese.
