8 to 10 med. baking potatoes
1 bunch scallions, chives or leeks
1/2 lb. bacon, fried & crumbled
1/2 lb. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 stick butter
1/2 stick butter
1 c. sour cream
Paprika

Bake potatoes at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Mix remaining ingredients, but paprika, in a large bowl. Place them on top of stove to melt slightly for a tastier dish. Remove potatoes from oven, when they can be poked easily with a fork.

Cut potatoes in half and scoop them into a large bowl with first 6 ingredients. Mash, adding small amount of milk, if necessary. Refill shells and place in a large baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and put them back into oven for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
