Twice Baked Potatoes

I decided that I was going to try and make twice baked potatoes for the first time. Below is the recipe I followed:

2 potatoes
4 slices of bacon
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

1. Bake potatoes in the microwave (to save time)
2. Add sc, cheese, salt, pepper, butter and cheese to bowl.
3. Fry bacon and chop into small pieces.
4. Cut the top 1/4 of the potato off, scoop out insides leaving about a 1/4 inche of potato to the skin.
5. Mix potato insides with ingredients in step 2, blend with mixer. Add to gallon ziploc bag.
6. Cut off the end of the ziploc bag and fill shells with potato mixture.
7. Add extra cheddar cheese to the top along with bacon and cook at 375 in toaster oven.

They turned out amazing!!! When I make them next time I am going to make extras so I can freeze them and add cheese to the top when I bake them.
