My husband's favorite potatoes

Well, we've only had these once but Tom declared these were his favorite potatoes. I think they're my favorite too. If I told you the real recipe name most of you might never try it but I will anyway. These are Stuffed Bleu Cheese Potatoes. Now..., I'm not a bleu cheese fan. I think this is the first time in 5 years I've bought the stuff. But if you taste these potatoes you'll never now that they have bleu cheese in them. It gives a real richness and flavor to the potatoes without tasting like moldy cheese. So don't let the bleu cheese thing scare you away. I think next time I make these I'll just make them into mashed potatoes because I think they would be great like that too. Of course, you'd miss the cheese and bacon but I won't miss the calories and I think they'll still be really good. I got this recipe from here so you can read more about them if you want.

Stuffed Bleu Cheese Potatoes

4 medium baking potatoes
½ Cup sour cream
1oz (1/4 cup) crumbled bleu cheese
¼ Cup milk
4 Tbs real butter, cut into chunks
¾ tsp salt
Dash pepper
½ t garlic powder
8 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Grated cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dry potatoes. Rub them lightly with a bit of shortening (helps crisp the skin) and place directly on oven rack, or a cookie sheet. Bake for one hour or until potatoes are done.

2. Remove potatoes and let cool just a bit. Cut an opening on the top and hollow out each. You may want to hold them with a potholder as they will still be hot!

3. Scoop out the insides and place in a bowl. Mash, and add butter, sour cream, bleu cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy. Carefully spoon mixture back into potato shells. Place in a baking dish. Return to hot oven and bake for 12 minutes.

4. Remove and sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese over each potato and bake an additional 3-5 minutes.
