Company Baked Potatoes

We wanted to cook something using a large bag of huge potatoes and a nice block of Cabot Cheddar and this recipe from a promotional cookbook from Cabot Creamery seemed to fill the bill. We microwaved the potatoes instead of baking them. The directions were a little sketchy. It said to combine the sour cream butter, grated cheddar and onion flakes, but did not indicate that heating was involved, so we didn’t, but then we were unable to pour the mixture over the potatoes. However, it still worked out well. Unfortunately my onion flakes had gone bad, so we used chives from the garden, and could not resist crumbling bacon on top. The flavor of the Cabot cheddar came through and was memorable. It worked well as a main course.
