Potatoes
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Bacon Bits (fresh or not doesn't matter)
Seasoned Salt
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Butter

Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash potatoes. Pierce with fork a few times.
3. Place on foil lined cookie sheet. Bake for about an hour until the can be pierced easily with a fork and skins are a little crispy.
4. Take out and cool until they are just warm. Slice of a side of the potato. Scoop out potato leaving about 1/4'' of potato on skins.
5. Place skins open side down back on foil. Brush on a little olive oil, sprinkle on garlic salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.
6. While those are baking, mash up potatoes add butter and milk to desired consistency. I did mine a little chunky. Add seasoned salt, garlic salt, black pepper, cheese and bacon all to your liking.

8. Turn on broiler. Place in for about 10minutes until the top of the potatoes is a little crunchy.

These were pretty easy to make. I used red potatoes so they were small and could have been used for appetizers too. I made them for a BBQ with some friends as a side for steaks!
