- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp black pepper and salt to taste
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method :
- Cut top off cooled baked potatos, save top and remove flesh from potato into a bowl.
- Combine all the seasoning mix for fryed pototos in a small bowl. Heat oil in Dutch oven or large deep pot to 350. Fry potato shells and their tops until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove to a rack, sprinkle all over with seasoning and cool on rack
- In a small skillet , add the teaspoon of butter, add shallot and garlic and soften minute. Add cream and simmer about 5 minutes until beginning to thicken. Remove from heat
- Mash the potatos in the bowl. I use a ricer for this for very smooth potatos, but any way is fine. Add cream mixture, romano , cheddar and cream cheeses, pepper, hot sauce, chives, parsley and Cajun seasoning, mix together.
- Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking pan with foil. Spray with non stick spray.
- Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Push cold butter piece into center of potato
- Add slice of cheddar cheese on top, then place top of potato on.
- Cross bacon over top and secure with a toothpick. The potatoes can be prepared ahead and refigerator at this point up to 2 days in advance. Bring to room temperature before baking.
- Bake in oven on prepared pan until hot and cheese is melted and bacon is crisp. About 15 minutes.
