Description
Warm, crispy potato skins filled with fluffy potato filling, melted cheddar, and savory bacon, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Rub each potato with the olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl. Add the sour cream, half the crumbled bacon, half the shredded cheese, and the chopped green onions. Mix until smooth.
- Refill each potato skin with the potato mixture, mounding it nicely. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese and bacon. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or sour cream if desired.
Notes
For best results, do not scoop the skins too thin. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
