My mother makes great stuffed potatoes (you may call them twice-baked potatoes). But she does it the old-fashioned time consuming way. Not me! I use the short-cut method, and they come pretty close to being as good as Mom’s. 

All you have to is scrub a couple of baking potatoes, pierce them several times with a fork and microwave on high until they’re done. Different microwaves cook differently, but in general, you’ll need to cook about five to six minutes, turn them over, then give them another five or six minutes.

Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise (careful, they’re very hot!) and scoop out the pulp. Combine the pulp with butter and mash. Add some sour cream or cream cheese. If you want, mix with electric mixer, but it’s not absolutely necessary. Add bacon bits and cheddar cheese. Stuff potato shells with mixture. Top with more cheese. Slide in a hot oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese. Enjoy!
