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.

LOADED BAKED POTATOES
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!

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.

- 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.
