Fully Loaded Potato Skins



My children love these potato skins. They are easy to make and you can eat them as a starter, as an accompaniment to another dish or as a snack.


Ingredients:
2 x large potatoes
1 x Onion, diced
1x teaspoon garlic, diced
1 x teaspoon mixed herbs, dried
2 x tablespoons cream cheese
½ cup cheese, grated
Dash of milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Bake the potatos in the oven.
When done allow to cool and then slice in half.
Using a teaspoon, remove the middle of the potato and set aside (Be careful not to break the skin/shells).
Set the skins/shells aside and mash the potato that you removed. Add the milk and season according to your taste.
Gently fry the onion until golden brown, add the garlic and herbs.
Add the bacon and cook for 2 mins.
Mix the onion and bacon with the mashed potato.
Start to re-fill the potato skins/shells.
Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bake for 10/15 mins.
