4 lg. baking potatoes, scrubbed and dried
3 tbsp. butter, at room temperature
3 tsp. salt
1/2 c. milk
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp. diced green bell pepper
1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub skins of potatoes with 2 teaspoons butter, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt. Pierce each potato several times with a fork and put directly on rack in oven. Bake for 1 hour (or until tender). Remove from oven and cool slightly. Cut a 1/4 inch slice off the top of each potato. With a spoon, scoop out insides from potatoes, leaving 1/4 inch all the way around. Mash potatoes in a large mixing bowl and mix in remaining butter, salt, milk, egg yolks, bell pepper, and half of the grated cheese. Restuff potatoes and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Return potatoes to oven for 10 to 15 minutes (until cheese begins to brown).
