Instructions: * Use Idaho baking potatoes.

1. With apple corer, hollow out potatoes lengthwise.

2. Mix together sausage, bitters, onion and bread crumbs; blend well. Use mixture to stuff holes in potatoes. If any sausage remains, shape into 1-inch balls and set aside.

3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place potatoes in one layer in a greased shallow baking pan. Cover tightly with foil.

4. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 50 minutes or until tender. Remove foil; put bacon slices over tops so potatoes are covered. Add sausage balls and bake 15-20 minutes longer or until bacon is brown and crisp.

5. Serve potatoes with sausage balls. Use part spicy sausage if you prefer.
