Preheat oven to 400
Wash the potatoes
Put butter on the outside of the potatoes to help crisp them up as they cook. Another option is to put bacon grease on the outside from cooking the bacon
Place potatoes in the oven for one hour
After the hour pull out potatoes and cut off the top probably going to want hot pads for this. Once the tops are off you are going to take a spoon and scoop out the insides be careful not to break the skins too much as this will make it harder to fill them
Once you have the insides in a bowl you are going to add the milk garlic salt and part of the cheese and any other thing you would like to add to the mixture for the mashed potatoes fill the mix tell it is like mashed potatoes
Once you have it all mixed you will take and start feeling up the skins you will want to place them in a pan so if there is any run off it doesn’t go to the bottom of the oven if you
Once they are filled then added a little garnish of cheese and bacon (to help it crisp up) may also want to add the jalapeños or chive or other garnish at the end cook for about an additional 20 minutes or till the top starts to brown
Pull out they should be ready to eat just add any other things you would like at this time
