My husband did not like twice baked potatoes until I made these. They are great. I'm adjusting the milk quantity in this recipe because of some of feedback I've got from people that have made them. Hope it helps with some of the consistency problems.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes
8 slices bacon
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4-1/3 cup milk (or just enough milk to get the consistency you like)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
8 green onions, sliced, divided
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

Directions

1
Rub potatoes with peanut oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper Bake potatoes in 350 degree oven for 1 hour (may be more depending on size of potato) While potatoes are baking cook bacon in large skillet over med high heat until evenly brown.
2
Drain, crumble and set aside.
3
(May use packaged bacon bits) When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10-20 minutes.
4
Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl, saving skins.
5
Add to the potato flesh the sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions.
6
Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Add additional milk if needed.
7
Spoon mixture into the potato skins.
8
Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.
9
Bake for another 15 minutes, uncovered.

My potatoes turned out way too moist and oozed all over the pan. I'm giving this recipe 4 stars though because the flavor was good. Just be careful with the sour cream and milk when adding. Will use this recipe again, but with adjustments.

I omitted the milk completely, and just added a couple extra tbsps of butter and sour cream to make it creamier. I was only making 2 servings so it didn't make sense to bake them so I just microwaved them for about 10 mins. I finished them off in the toaster oven/broiler for 10 additional minutes. It was perfect! Not to mention QUICK! Served alongside grilled asparagus and grilled rib-eye steaks for a wonderful Valentine's dinner!

These were really good!! I am glad I read the other reviews because I got these to come out perfect! I only used a couple tablespoons of milk and it was great! We will have these again real soon!

i halved the recipe, and with the benefit of the hindsight from all these reviews, also went easy on the sour cream and milk - and the consistency of the filling was just right. we dont eat bacon, so that was easily omitted. very good recipe, if you use discretion in adding the sour cream and milk according to the amount of potato pulp you scoop out, instead of just blinding following the specified quantities.
