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

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
