The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Twice Baked Potatoes

Mommy

Baked potatoes, cold
butter, melted
milk
cheese, shredded
bacon bits

Cut the cold baked potatoes in half length-wise.  Scoop out the potato being careful to leave some potato and skin left to form a "shell".  The potatoes will scoop much easier if they are cold.  Combine the potato, butter and milk in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer until thick but smooth.  (This will blend together easier if you warm up the cold potatoes.)  Add the cheese and bacon bits.  Place the potato shells on a baking sheet and spoon the mixture back into the potato shells.  Bake at 350 degrees  for 25-35 minutes or until hot.  Sprinkle with additional cheese.

Twice Baked Potatoes is such wonderful meal.  Add a salad or veggie and you have a great dinner.  This is another meal that is easy to prepare in the morning and just put back in the refrigerator until it's time to cook it for dinner.  I love meals that can be made in the morning!
Love Always,
Mommy
