twice baked mashed potatoes

most amazing twice bake potatoes i've ever eaten!

ingredients:
2 potatoes
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. pepper jack cheese
1/2 stick butter
4 pieces bacon
one small onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 carton mushrooms
10 stalks kale, chopped


to prepare:
preheat oven to 350
poke holes in the potatoes with a fork
put the potatoes in the oven for an hour

cut up bacon into bits and render on the stove on low

while potatoes are cooking,(using the same pan in which you cooked the bacon) sautee together diced onions, garlic, mushrooms, and chopped kale or spinach

cut up potatoes and mash them with sour cream, pepper jack cheese, butter, and salt and pepper

fold in the veggie mixture and the bacon

put in souffle dish and top with more cheese.  put into the oven for 20 minutes.  finish off under the broiler for less than a minute to get the cheese bubbly.  top with more bacon, if desired.

this seems like a side dish, but i promise it is so rich and dense (and delicious!) that it is more than enough for  an entire meal.
