While still hot cut potatoes in half and scrape out the meat of the
potato...trying to leave the skin intact. I use a spoon.

Roughly mash the pototo guts with a little cream and butter add diced
mushrooms, shredded sharp cheddar, and crumbled cooked bacon as well as
salt and pepper to taste. Some diced red pepper pepper couldn't hurt as
well.

Put the mixture back in the skins and sprinke with a litte more shredded
cheese. Back into the oven with them till the cheese is nicely
melted...serve with chives and sour cream.
