Twice Baked Potatoes

Super easy, and a favorite!

-However many potatoes you want... 2 is MORE than enough for Patrick, Maya and I. It ends up essentially doubling the potatoes!
-Cheese, shredded, around 1 cup
-Bacon (I cheat and get the "real" bacon bits in the salad aisle... not the crunchy ones, the soft ones in the yellow package)
-Sour Cream (16oz)
-Salt, pepper, garlic powder

Bake or microwave the potatoes. After they've cooled, cut them in half and carefully scoop out the innards. Preheat the oven to 350. Mix with above ingredients, however much you want, really... sometimes I use all the sour cream and sometimes I don't-depends on how dry the potatoes are. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet, carefully scoop the potato mixture inside, and bake around 15 minutes or until you can tell the cheese is melting and it's getting a little golden brown on top. Put chives on top if you would like, or play around with some of the ingredients! We always have this with steak and green beans... a "classic" dinner for us.
Just as a flashback... this is the first time we made it, back at Spring Arbor :)
