JALAPEñO POPPER TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Gently scrub potatoes but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
• Bake 1 hour or until tender when pierced with fork. Cool slightly.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out inside of each half into medium bowl, leaving thin potato shell on each. Set shells aside. Mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add cream cheese, butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk, the salt and pepper; stir or beat until smooth and fluffy. If needed, add more milk. Stir in bacon, chopped chile and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture; place on ungreased sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese and arrange a few chile rings on top of each half.
• Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

TWICE BAKED JALAPEñO POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and poke holes in them on the top for venting.
• Microwave until a fork can be easily inserted into them.
• When removed, let cool until barely warm so it is more easy to scoop out the potato into your mixing bowl, saving your potato skins.
• Scoop out your potato and mix on all ingredients. (Your Jalapeno peppers should be de-seeded and diced.).
• Scoop back into your potato skins.
• Top with pre-sliced Swiss cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is slightly browned on top.

Steps:

• Wash and pierce the skins of the baking potatoes.
• Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a knife easily slides to the center of the potatoes. Remove the seeds and veins from one jalapeno. Leave the seeds and veins in the second one to give your potatoes some jalapeno heat. This is actually fairly mild, so you could leave seeds and veins in both peppers, if you like your dishes a little hotter.
• Mince the jalapeno. Chop the bacon.
• Slice baked potatoes in half, lengthwise, and scoop the potato pulp out into a mixing bowl. You can leave a thin layer of potato in the skins to help them be more sturdy and stable. Place the empty skins on a baking sheet and set aside.
• Add the sour cream, cream cheese and butter to the potato pulp in the mixing bowl and mash until all ingredients are combined and the potatoes are light and fluffy.
• Add the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, bacon and jalapeño. Stir to combine with, and evenly distribute through, the mashed potato mixture.
• Spoon the filling back into the potato skin "shells." Fill them generously. They will mound above the rim of the skin.
• Sprinkle each potato with 1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs.
• Arrange the filled potato skins on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheeses have melted, the filling is hot and the Panko crumbs have browned on top.
