Ingredients:
4 baking potatoes
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 c. milk
3 tbsp. butter
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 c. sour cream
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tbsp. minced garlic
4 tbsp. bacon bits
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Cook each potato in the microwave until tender
enough to pierce with a fork,
about 8 minutes.
Allow potatoes to cool, then slice in half
lengthwise.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Scoop out the centers of the potato halves, leaving
about 1/2 inch of potato in the skin to keep its
shape.
Place skins on a greased baking sheet and place the
scooping into a bowl.
Mash the potato in the bowl with milk, salt, pepper
and butter until smooth, or as smooth as you prefer.
Stir in the green and red peppers, jalapeno and
garlic until evenly distributed.
Mound the mixture into the potato skins.
Sprinkle cheese and bacon bits over the top.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until
the cheese is starting to toast.
