Bacon And Blue Cheese Potato Surprise Food

BACON BLUE CHEESE AND POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and simmer until about halfway cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. (A knife shouldn't pierce the chunks easily; there should still be a little resistance in the center.) Drain and pat the potatoes very dry.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes, then remove to paper towels to drain.
• Increase the heat to medium high. Add the par-cooked potatoes to the skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, until they begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper, paprika and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the pepper just begins to wilt, about 3 minutes, adjusting the heat if the potatoes or peppers begin to burn. Add the scallion whites and cook until the potatoes are crisp and tender and everything is well browned, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with the cooked bacon, scallion greens and blue cheese. Toss and serve immediately.

BONNIE'S BLUE CHEESE AND BACON STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. BAKE THE POTATOES: Wash the potatoes, dry them, and then rub then with oil. Prick holes with a fork to let steam escape. Bake at 400 for one hour. Cut potatoes lengthwise. Use a tea towel to hold the hot potato, and scoop out the inside of the potato with a spoon into a medium mixing bowl. Take care not to tear the potato skins.
• 2. PREPARE THE FILLING: Add sour cream, onion, parsley, blue cheese, butter, salt and pepper and mix with a hand mixer, adding as much milk as necessary to make the potato mixture creamy but firm. Now fill the potato shells, using the tines of a fork to fluff up the potatoes. Place all the potatoes on a baking sheet and put them in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and serve. Enjoy!
• 3. COOK'S TIP: Tastes do differ! You may enjoy more sour cream, or a different type of cheese, don't be afraid to change this one to suit your taste.
