Equipment
- oven
Ingredients
- 8 medium potatoes
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6-8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup half and half or cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped, divided
- salt and pepper, to taste
- green onions or chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Scrub potatoes, then use a fork to poke 8-12 deep holes all over the surface of each potato to let the moisture escape during cooking. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes.
- Reduce the oven to 350°F.
- Let cool slightly, then cut in half, lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh into a large bowl.
- Add softened butter, softened cream cheese, sour cream, half and half, garlic salt, 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, all but ¼ cup of chopped bacon, and a few chopped green onions (if desired). Salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. Top with remaining shredded cheeses, bacon, and green onions or chives.
- Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes and serve warm.
Notes
To avoid gummy potatoes, do not overmix. Mix in veggies like corn, broccoli, or diced bell peppers for added flavor. Can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days or frozen for longer storage.
