    Source of Recipe

    Aunt Saunny

    Ingredients
    6 potatoes
    1 cup vegetable oil
    8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
    1/8 cup bacon bits
    1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

    Directions
    1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

    2 Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high until they are soft; approximately 10 to 12 minutes.

    3 Cut the potatoes in half vertically. Scoop the inside out of the potatoes, until 1/4 inch of the potato shell remains.

    4 Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan. Place the potatoes in hot oil, fry for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes on paper towels.

    5 Fill the potato shells with cheese and bacon bits. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan.

    6 Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream.

    Makes 6 servings
