Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Wash potatoes, pierce with fork, lightly coat skins with vegetable oil, and bake for 1 hour. When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop all except about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the flesh from the skins and place in a large bowl, keeping the skins aside.
Add sour cream, milk, butter, Dijon mustard, 1/2 of the cheese, 1/2 of the green onions, and 1/2 of the ham to the potato flesh. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions, and ham.
Bake for about another 15 minutes and serve.

Hi GGVi. When you get to the bacon salt link that Jess supplied, it will tell you what grocery stores you can purchase it at. It's, of course, in the spice section. ;-) LOL! I have three of the flavors and, if I remember correctly, they have one or two others, too.
And yes Jess, it is indeed yummy on popcorn. ;-)
And thank you Pookarina Julia for your comment. Sometimes I cheat and double the cheese. LOL! What I like most about this twice baked is the added flavor from the Dijon.

Here is the link to the bacon salt site. I have seen it at a couple of grocery stores too. I have not tried it yet but I have been tempted. Would be great on popcorn, I bet.

Deeli, this recipe is our son's favorite way to cook potatoes, and I'm leaning more and more to preferring them this way as well. With a good Twice Baked Potato and a nice green salad, who could ask for anything more? :-) Maybe a big glass of sweetened iced-tea with lemon. A little slice of cold egg-custard pie...
It's getting HOT HOT HOT here in south Florida right now, and it's only going to get hotter, so the more simple a meal is, the better.
Thank you.

Optional: A pinch of baking soda will make them more fluffy.
Cook potatoes in microwave until centers are soft (don't let the skins get too wrinkly). Slice each potato in half and scoop out as much of the insides as you can while keeping the shells intact.
Put scooped out potatoes in bowl. Add butter or margarine, plus bits of shredded cheese, salt adn pepper. I like to add some cottage cheese to add to the creamy flavor. You can also tear sliced cheese into bits for it. You can combine cheeses for cheesier flavor. Add any other seasonings you like on potatoes and beat with mixer until mostly smooth.
Fill potato shells with mixture and top with a little bit of shredded or sliced cheese and toast in oven or toaster oven until hot and cheese is melted.
Everyone loves these! This is a great side because you can vary the ingredients depending on what you have on hand plus it makes a great side when you are serving company. Experimenting with various seasonings like spicy and hot also adds to the flavor.

Bake potatoes in oven at 400 degrees F for about 1 hour. Make a small slice in top of potato, just enough to remove the inside of the potato with a spoon. Put in medium mixing bowl; add remaining ingredients. Blend with a hand mixer until completely blended. Add milk until you get a thick creamy mixture. Fill potatoes with mixture and top with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and lightly brown.
