• 3. Bake potatoes in oven for about an hour, or until fork tender. Allow potatoes to cool until they can be handled but are still hot; about 10 minutes.
• 4. Using a knife, cut an oblong hole in the top of the potato. (You may need a clean dish towel or mitts to handle the potatoes.) Using a spoon, scoop out as much of the potato pulp as you can, leaving the side walls intact. Scrape the pulp out of the tops you cut off, too, and discard the "lid".
• 5. Return the shells to the hot oven for another 10 minutes to crisp.
• 6. Meanwhile, mash the potato pulp using a potato masher, adding butter, salt and pepper, garlic, onion, cream, yogurt , cheddar (save a little cheese for the top) and chives. Taste and adjust seasonings.

CAMPING BAKED POTATOES WITH HERBED SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Start a wood campfire and wait until the flames die down and the coals glow red with white ash. Lower a grilling grate so that it sits above the coals and you have nice, even medium heat. Wash the potatoes well in cold water, prick each all over with the tip of a knife and rub them all over with olive oil. Rub salt all over the potatoes; this will help crisp the skin. Tightly wrap each potato in aluminum foil.
• Place the potatoes on the grill grate over red coals (medium heat) and cook about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, turning halfway through. (Feed the fire with more wood as needed.) When done, the tip of a paring knife will go straight through the potato without resistance (you can do this through the foil).
• In a small bowl, combine the scallions, chopped herbs and sour cream. Set aside.
• Cut the potatoes open through the foil and peel back the foil to expose the potato. Squeeze the potatoes gently from the bottom to expose the soft, fluffy insides. Season with salt and pepper, top with butter and finish with a big spoonful of the herbed sour cream.

GREEK YOGURT AND CHIVE TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH OPTIONAL BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Scrub potatoes, dry, and rub with olive oil and kosher salt. Prick them three or four times with a fork. Place directly on oven rack and bake 40 - 50 minutes until tender all the way through.
• Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. Allow potatoes to cool for about five minutes, until relatively easy to handle. Slice in half with a sharp knife and allow to cool, cut side up, for a few more minutes.
• Using a spoon, carefully carve out the middle of the potato, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato along the sides and bottoms. This helps the potato to stay rigid.
• Carefully set potato halves hollowed side up on a roomy baking sheet.
• Place potato innards in a large bowl along with the Greek yogurt, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the milk and butter on medium heat just until the butter has melted. Add to the potato mixture. Using a potato masher or a fork, stir and mash until only small lumps remain. Stir in the chives, salt, and pepper. If adding bacon to the entire recipe, go ahead and stir that in now as well. If you're adding it to half of the recipe only, don't add it yet!
• Taste and add additional salt and pepper if you'd like.
• Carefully spoon potato and Greek yogurt mixture into six of the potato halves, mounding as much as you can without the filling spilling over the sides. If adding bacon to half the mixture, stir the bacon into the remaining mixture then continue filling the rest of the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup cheddar cheese over each potato half.
• Bake for about 20 minutes until the filling is heated through and the potatoes begin to turn golden brown.
• Garnish with additional fresh snipped chives, if desired. Serve.
