If you have any leftovers from this recipe, you can use them to make Baked Potato Soup in the "Soup" section of our cookbook.

Preheat oven to 400degrees. Wash and pierce potatoes with a fork; bake at 400degrees for 1 hour or until tender when pinched. Cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp into a large bowl, leaving 1/4" thick shell. Mash pulp with a potato masher. Add milk and cream cheese to mashed potato; stir with a whisk. Add feta cheese, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir well. Spoon potato mixture into shells. Place on a baking sheet; bake at 400degrees for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons green onions; top with bacon.
