ROASTED GARLIC TWICE-BAKED CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place each potato and head of garlic onto its own piece of foil, which should be large enough to fully wrap around the potato or garlic.
• Prick the potatoes several times one each side with a fork. Cut off the top of the garlic to expose the top of the cloves.
• Drizzle each potato and the heads of garlic with olive oil.
• Move to oven and bake for an hour. (I usually place them on a cookie sheet to prevent any oil from dripping and to make it easier to put in and out at once).
• Remove the potatoes and garlic from the oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
• Unwrap each potato and halve the short way (so they look like little cups, as opposed to a long "boat"). Cut off a small bit on each of the smaller, round ends so that they will sit up straight. Gently scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin edge all the way around the cup. Avoid breaking the potato skin.
• Mash the potato flesh in a medium bowl. Add sour cream, processed cheese (reserve 8 small cubes), and pepper, and beat until fluffy.
• Stuff mixture into the cups - it will be quite full, so mound on top as needed.
• Return to oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, until heated through and cheese has melted.
• Top each potato half with a remaining piece of cheese and return for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top has melted.
• Garnish the potatoes with bacon and green onions before serving.

• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

• It is ok if the potatoes are stuffed over the top.
