Ingredients

Ingredients

4 baking potatoes
Vegetable oil (optional)
1-1/2 cup shredded Gouda cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. chopped green onion
1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 tsp. prepared horseradish (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Scrub and dry potatoes. If desired, rub with a little vegetable oil or vegetable shortening. Prick in several places with fork. Bake in pre-heated oven for 1 hour. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and allow to cool long enough to handle. Hold with a thick potholder or oven mitt and scoop out flesh with bowl of spoon, being careful to leave shells intact (approximately 1/4-inch thick). Add 1 cup of the cheese, plus the sour cream, butter, onion, parsley, horseradish (if using), pepper and salt, to the potato flesh. Mash with potato masher or beat until smooth in an electric mixer.

Fill potato shells with mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Sprinkle bacon over potatoes for last few minutes of baking. Garnish with plenty of minced fresh parsley.
