This has quickly become one of my favorite recipes for side dishes for the freezer. I can take out just the amount of potatoes I need for the meal and have a very satisfying side dish!
You will need the following:
8 large baking potatoes, baked
2 Tbsp butter, softened
3/4 c. milk
1 egg, beaten
1 c. of your favorite shredded cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
4 green onions, sliced
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the center of each one. You want to leave a nice shell with some potato still attached to the skin.
Place scooped potato in a large bowl, add butter, milk, and egg and beat with mixer until smooth. Add some of your cheese to this mixture.
Heap this potato mixture back into your shells, top with more cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Flash freeze by placing potatoes on baking sheet into freezer for at least 30 minutes. After this time, take out and place each potato in a zip lock baggie. You can then place all of these in a larger gallon size baggie to keep them all together.
To serve: Take out the number of potatoes needed for the meal, thaw completely and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with sour cream if you would like. Enjoy!
Until next post, Have a Blessed day,
Shelly
