Ingredients
- 2 pounds of red skinned potatoes, about 10 medium, baked
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, divided
- 1 (5 ounce) can of evaporated milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted and cooled
- 1-1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 green onions, sliced, reserve a teaspoon for garnish
- 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub potatoes, puncture each with a knife to vent, toss with olive oil and salt and place on a pan. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, cook the bacon to crisp; set aside, chop once cooled, reserving half for garnish; set aside. Set potatoes aside until cool enough to handle, then slice in half lengthwise, then into half rounds about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. Place into a large bowl. Add 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese and half of the bacon. Set aside a big pinch of the green onion for garnish and add the rest to the potatoes; toss.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 x 8 inch baking dish; set aside. Blend together the evaporated milk, sour cream and melted butter. Add parsley, garlic salt and pepper. Pour mixture over the potatoes and gently toss. Use a potato masher to break down the chunks to desired texture. Turn out into the prepared baking dish, cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until heated through. Remove, top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, return to the oven, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Garnish top with remaining bacon and green onion. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes: Double for a cookout, potluck or church supper. Leftover baked potatoes are perfect for this, so if you’re already baking some, bake extra, or bake the potatoes ahead to save time. Also good for smoked potatoes.

Five Embarrassing Stories HILARIOUS

Meet The Parents
Ok, it was a casual Friday night and my new boyfriend called me up and asked if we wanted to hang out.. I was bored out my mind,so I jumped at the offer!
As I arrived at his house, I was hoping we would be alone. I couldn’t hear any trace of noise, so I guessed we were. He invited me in, gave me a kiss and then a sexy look which made me turned on and thinking that he was heading to something…He grabbed my hand and brought me downstairs covering my eyes and saying “I have a surprise for you, why don’t you make yourself comfortable”.
So I of course had a feeling what he meant. He then left the room to give me time and said he would be only five minutes. I began to take off my clothes knowing that I thought he wanted me to strip naked for him. Five minutes he called me to come out into the room next door to his room. I walked out all proud of my self and walked into the living room butt naked and saw three shocked faces looking upon my body. He didn’t tell me the surprise was he wanted me to meet his parents!
What a horrible experience! From that day forward I kept my clothes on at all times unless I was ABSOLUTELY SURE we were alone!
