What You Need

baking potatoes (2 lb.), baked

Tbsp. oil

jar (15 oz.) CHEEZ WHIZ Cheese Dip

1/4

cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits

1/2

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

green onions, sliced

Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

CUT potatoes lengthwise in half; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. (Reserve centers for another use.) Cut shells crosswise in half.

PLACE shells, skin-sides down, on baking sheet; brush insides of shells lightly with oil. Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.

MICROWAVE CHEEZ WHIZ in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min., stirring after 1-1/2 min. Spoon into potato shells; top with remaining ingredients.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Savor every bite of this warm appetizer. Each serving, 1 potato skin, goes a long way on flavor.

Shortcut

Prepare as directed, substituting frozen waffle fries or french fries for the baked potato shells. Bake fries as directed on package. Place on serving plate. Serve topped with remaining ingredients.

Substitute

To prepare using VELVEETA® instead of the CHEEZ WHIZ, cut 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA into 1/2-inch cubes; place in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min. Pour into potato shells, then top with remaining ingredients as directed.

This recipe was wonderful. Everyone always wants me to make them. If you don't want to try the cheez whiz on them, then use another type of shredded cheese. Almost anything goes with these.

I made these for our Super Bowl party and everyone loved them. I used a mix of mild and sharp cheddar cheese instead of cheez whiz. My son thought they were better than a restaurant.

Very good! Much better than the frozen kind! I would make sure you serve them right away since as they cool off, the cheese starts to harden (I used Velveeta). I also sprinkled a little shredded sharp cheddar on them as soon as they came out of the oven. It added a little extra flavor.
