Ingredients
  

For the Baked Mississippi Mud Potatoes
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows optional
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Knife
  • Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven Mitts

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Using a fork, pierce each potato several times.
  3. Step 3: Place the pierced potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
  5. Step 5: In the mixing bowl with the scooped potato, add sour cream, softened butter, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the creamy potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.
  7. Step 7: Optionally, sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top.
  8. Step 8: Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and tops are slightly golden.
  9. Step 9: Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
