INGREDIENTS
4 large Russet potatoes (10 to 11 ounces each)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon (3 to 4 slices)

Remove from oven; cool 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients.
Cut a thin slice off top of each potato. Using a teaspoon, scoop out center of each, leaving a thin shell.
Add potato centers to cheese mixture. Using fork, break up potatoes and mix until well blended.
Spoon mixture into potato shells.
