Stuffed Potatoes au Gratin
Place 6 to 8 unpeeled potatoes in a pot. Cover the potatoes with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and then cook for 18 to 20 minutes, until tender. Cut off the top third of the potatoes and spoon out the flesh, taking care not to pierce the peel. In a bowl, mix the flesh with 8 strips of cooked bacon, chopped, 3 green onions, chopped, and 60 ml (1/4 cup) of sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the emptied potatoes with the mixed ingredients. Sprinkle with 125 ml (1/2 cup) of shredded cheddar. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Brown in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes at 205°C (400°F).
