I know it sounds strange, but my friends from Peru use to make it all the time and it was delicious. Just wish I knew the right name for it. Like a baked potato, but stuff with meat and other things. And they always peeled them, so no skin. It was so good! I just wish I knew what it is called or definitely how to make it. Please help!

It is called twice baked potatoe. You bake the potatoe then cut them in half take out the inside of the potatoe. Add to the potatoes sour cream, chves or green onion bacon bits, salt and pepper and top with cheese and put back in the oven until heated.

Of course, it would be that simple. I've heard of that before but never connected the two. I am not really much of a cook to be all that honest, but I like to try. Thank you so much! I think I will try this tonight.

I got one off 30 minute meals. Love Rachel Ray. Well her it is.. 2 large Russet potatoes, cleaned and pricked with a fork several times each Drizzle olive oil or vegetable oil 2 slices center cut bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces 2 scallions, chopped 1/4 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Salt and coarse black pepper Preheat a small nonstick pan over medium high heat. Rub potatoes with a drizzle of oil. Place potatoes on a microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 12 minutes, rotating once. While potatoes cook, add chopped bacon to hot skillet and brown until bits are crisp. Add scallions and cook scallions together with bacon 1 minute more. Transfer bacon bits and green onions to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Allow potatoes to cool enough to be handled, 5 minutes. Preheat broiler to high. Cut potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Smash potato flesh together with sour cream until combined using a potato masher. Stir in cheddar cheese, bacon and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Scoop filling back into potato skins and place on a cookie sheet. Place potatoes in oven and brown under broiler, 6 inches from heat 5 minutes.
