Twice Baked Potatoes

I love potatoes. They may be my favorite side dish. It doesn’t matter how they are cooked, I’ll eat them. One of my favorite ways to eat them is when they are twice baked. Surprisingly, I have never made a twice baked potato before. I recently found a recipe for them in my Taste of Home cookbook and decided to give them a try.
Sea salt
2 oz. one-third less fat cream cheese
3 T. low fat milk
1 T. butter
½ c. part skim cheddar cheese, divided
3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 t. chives
1 t. Salt
1 t. pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash potatoes, poke holes in them, and rub the outsides with sea salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender.
2. Remove from oven and slice in half. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a thin potato skin shell. Place the pulp in a medium bowl and mash.
3. Mix the cream cheese, milk, butter, bacon, chives, and ¼ c. of the cheese in a bowl. Add the mashed potatoes and mix well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Place the potato skin shells back on the baking sheet. Scoop the potato filling into each shell and top with the remaining ¼ c. cheese.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
