Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 russet potatoes
12 strips bacon
1 pound broccoli florets
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
  • Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
  • Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

This is a nice spin on a loaded classic favorite. When the baked potato skin gets left uneaten, then most of the nutrients get tossed. Flavor it up a bit. You'll love it!

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large russet baking potatoes
2 tablespoons canola oil
¾ teaspoon garlic salt
¾ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons sour cream
6 tablespoons green onions, chopped
6 tablespoons grated sharp Cheddar cheese
6 tablespoons diced cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Toss potatoes with oil in a large bowl until well coated. Add garlic salt, chili powder, and pepper and continue to toss until spices are evenly distributed.
  • Place potatoes directly on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a potato offers little resistance, about 40 minutes more.
  • Slice each baked potato lengthwise down the center, add sour cream, green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon. Serve piping hot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different textures and flavors, so using a variety will give your popcorn a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and not hold their shape well. Bake them until they are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in loaded baked potato popcorn, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar cheese is a good option.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings: In addition to the classic toppings like bacon, cheese, and sour cream, you can also try adding other toppings like chili, salsa, or guacamole.
  • Serve the popcorn immediately: Loaded baked potato popcorn is best served immediately after it's made. This will ensure that the popcorn is crispy and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Loaded baked potato popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover baked potatoes. With its crispy potato bites, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings, loaded baked potato popcorn is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
