Twice Baked Potatoes

Bake potatoes in hot oven (375) for about 45 minutes or until done.

Slice potatoes in half and scoop out the inside into a medium sized bowl, leaving about a ⅛ inch shell all around.

Mash the potato with the half and half, butter, cheese, and salt & pepper.

Place mashed potato mixture into a pastry bag and pipe filling back into the potato shell.

Place potato halves on a baking sheet and bake in oven for about 10 minutes or until tops of potatoes are brown.

Bake potatoes as above,scoop out insides of potatoes, and mash with the half and half, butter, cheese, salt & pepper, but add any additional toppings into mashed mixture before placing mixture into the pastry bag to pipe into the potato shell. Bake as above. Save some of the additional topping to sprinkle on top of potato just before serving.
