Twice Baked Potatoes

This evening I am having friends over for dinner.Even though it is not Christmas,I decided to make twice baked potatoes.We have always had these as part of our Christmas dinner.I once made scalloped potatoes instead, to bring a little variety to the meal. I had a mutiny on my hands.My family told me I was not allowed to change our Christmas menu.We ALWAYS have twice baked potatoes Mom ! Below is this easy recipe to feed four. At Christmas I make 40 for the  meal. Four is easy peasy.

                                Twice Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:   4 Large baking potatoes
                       3/4 cup sour cream
                       3/4 cup butter or margarine
                       1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
                       Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation: Bake potatoes for an hour to an hour and 1/2 or until soft
                       Remove potatoes from the oven and let cool
                       Cut potatoes in half length wise and scoop out the potatoes
                       with a spoon and put in large bowl .Save the skins.
                       Add the sour cream and butter or margarine to the potato
                       mixture
                       Add salt and pepper
                       Using a hand mixer,blend potato mixture until it is blended
                       The mixture is not mashed potatoes so pieces of the potato
                       will still be evident
                       With a spoon, return potato mixture to the skins, making
                       each potato is filled to the top of the skin
                       Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the filled potato skins
                       Set aside
                       Just before serving, bake each potato in a 350 degree oven
                       for 10 minutes to warm potato and melt cheese
This recipe will feed four
