1 tablespoon minced green onion
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large russet potatoes
6 slice bacon
1/4 c milk, warmed
1 c shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Pierce he potatoes with a fork and place in microwave until tender, about 16 minutes. Set aside.
  • 2. Cook bacon until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings. Roughly chop 4 slices and break the other 2 slices in half; set aside.
  • 3. When cool enough to handle, slice off the top 1/4 inch of the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop the flesh from 3 potatoes to a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-in-thick shell. Repeat with the remaining potato but discard the flesh. Add 2 Tbsp. of the reserved bacon drippings and the warmed milk to the bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  • 4. Stir in the cheese, scallions, parsley, chopped bacon, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  • 5. Season the insides of the potato skins with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the skins, then press the back of a spoon down the center of the filling to create a long, deep well. Brush the outside of the skins with the remaining bacon dripings and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 6. One at a time, crack an egg into a cup, then carefully pour into each potato (it's OK if some of the white overflows). Transfer to a preheated 375º oven and bake until the whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • 7. Season with salt and pepper and top with more scallions and the halved bacon strips. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium potatoes
1/2 cup sour cream (I use fat-free and no one knows the difference!)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 slices bacon, crisp and crumbled (or 1 c. real bacon bits)

Steps:

  • Microwave (or bake in oven at 400 for 1hr) the potatoes until done.
  • Allow to cool a bit.
  • Slice about a 1" strip of the skin off the top of each potato.

Tips:

  • For perfectly baked potatoes, choose medium-sized, smooth-skinned potatoes with no blemishes or sprouts.
  • Prick the potatoes all over with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh, to prevent the skins from breaking.
  • To make the potato filling extra creamy, use a combination of butter, sour cream, and cream cheese.
  • Season the potato filling generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the potato mixture, such as bacon, cheese, chives, or jalapeños.
  • Fill the potato skins with the potato mixture and bake them until the filling is heated through and the tops are golden brown.
