Twice Baked Potatoes


These are one of the quickest and easiest side dishes to make.  I have often even made them in our trailer while "camping"!  A couple hints for these is to cook the potatoes in the microwave.  I put a paper towl down in the microwave, washed and pricked 6 medium potatoes and cooked on high for 9 minutes. I then turned them over and continued on high for another 9 minutes.  Of course each microwave power is different so keep your eye on them.  For the bacon, I cut the bacon into thin slices, so I don't have to crumble it after it is cooked.


6 medium potatoes
1/2 pound bacon cooked
1 cup or so of grated cheddar cheese
ranch dressing
*the cheese and the ranch dressing are not an exact amount - you be the judge :)

I then add a little grated cheese on top before baking.  Bake in oven at 350 for about 20-25 minutes.  I have also put them on the barbeque to cook while camping ♥
