December 23, Baked Potatoes, Krystle Style

This is my new favourite recipe. Had it last night for dinner and it was so good.

Ingredients

2 large potatoes
1/4 cup reduced cream
1 Tbsp onion soup mix
1 rasher of bacon
Grated cheese to top

Method

Fry bacon in a small frying pan until crispy.
Poke four sets of fork holes into each potatoes.
Microwave potatoes on high (1100W microwave) for 7-8 minutes with half a cup of water.
Mix reduced cream, onion mix and mixed herbs in a bowl.
When potatoes are finished cooking cut a square out of the top and scoop potato out into the bowl with cream mixture being careful not to damage the potato skins.
Chop cooked bacon into squares and add to mixture.
Mix mixture well then spoon back into potato skins.
Top with grated cheese.

(optional) To crisp up this creation chuck under the grill till cheese is melted.



Leftovers

Leftover stuffed potatoes can be wrapped in glad wrap once cooled and put in the fringe. Either eat cold or reheat in microwave for 2 minutes.

If you brought a full can of reduced cream and a full sachet of onion mix then mix the two together and cover and refrigerate for a great kiwi style onion dip which is great with potato chip, celery sticks or carrot sticks.
