Dorm-friendly recipes: Twice baked potatoes
Twice baked potatoes
Ingredients
1 large potato
1 tablespoon of butter
2 slices of bacon
3 tablespoons of sour cream
Directions:
Take the potato and use a fork to poke holes in it. Place it in the microwave and cook for five minutes on one side then flip it over and cook for another five minutes. Once the potato is soft, cut down the length of the potato and scoop out the inside while leaving the skin intact; the skin will be used as a bowl later. While the potato is cooling slightly, cook the microwaveable bacon according to the directions on the package. Mix the potato’s insides with the butter, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper. Stuff the mixture back into the potato skin, and cook until the cheese is slightly melted, and the potato is warm. Sprinkle with bacon and enjoy.
Even though this treat is a bit of a splurge, it’s okay to spoil yourself once and awhile. This hearty meal is so simple and easy on the wallet, what’s not to love?
