                                 Mini Twice Bake Taters

10 - 12 Butter Gold Potatoes (or any small size variety)
Olive oil
1/2 cup shredder Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sour cream (room temp)
1/4 cup cream cheese
3 Tbs chopped green onions
3 strips crispy bacon (6 if you have bacon thieves)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Wash, dry, then coat each potato with olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees until tender (approx 20 to 30 minutes). Remove from oven and let set for 10 minutes.

Cut each potato in half. Using small spoon, scoop out center portion of potato halves and place in bowl. Be careful to leave enough potato on skin to give enough support so that they stand on their own. Arrange skins on baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Return to oven at 400 degrees for approx 20 to 30 minutes to desired crispiness. Remove from oven and set aside.

Mash the reserve potato centers with fork. Add butter, sour cream, cream cheese, green onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder.  Mix well. Spoon mashed potatoes into potato skins and top with bacon crumbles. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Serve hot!
