Twice Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

pepper
2 slices bacon, chopped|
2 tbsp chives, chopped|

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Using a vegetable brush, scrub the potatoes clean under running water.
   Poke each potato several times with a fork to vent. Rub them with a little olive oil. Place directly on the middle or top rack of the oven.

2. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through so that they give a little when pressed. If you are short on time, you may bake the potatoes in  the microwave (10 minutes on high heat for 2 potatoes).

3. Place a small non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Cook chopped bacon until crispy and slightly brown. Transfer bacon bits to a paper plate to drain off excess fat.

4. Turn on broiler to high. Cut baked and slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop out the cooked potato into the Mixing Bowl. Set potato skins aside. Add the sour  cream (or Greek Yogurt), cheddar cheese, bacon, chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. For a smoother texture you may add more sour cream.

6. Garnish with sour cream, chives and top with bacon if desired.

¼ cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
2 oz good quality bittersweet chocolate (melted) pinch of salt
¼ tsp cream of tartar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare a soufflé dish by coating it with melted butter or cooking spray. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the dish, turn it upside down, and lightly tap to remove any excess sugar.
2. Using the Stand Mixer, beat egg yolks with all but 1 tablespoon sugar until very light and very thick (note: the mixture will fall in a ribbon from Beaters when ready). Mix  in the melted chocolate until well incorporated. Wash the Beaters well.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar until egg whites form soft peaks. Continue to beat, gradually adding the remaining tablespoon of sugar,  until the peaks are very stiff and glossy. Thoroughly stir a heaping spoonful of whites into the chocolate egg yolk mixture to lighten it. Using a rubber spatula, fold in  remaining whites. Transfer mixture to prepared soufflé dish. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.
4. Bake until center is nearly set (25 to 35 minutes for a single large soufflé). Serve immediately.
5. NOTE: Do not open the oven during baking or the soufflé will fall.
