- Refill potato shells. Place on plates and mound the saute'd veggies over the top. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Baking potatoes should be about the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Pricking potatoes with a fork allows steam to escape while baking, preventing them from bursting.
- Rubbing olive oil helps the skins crisp up and enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
- For a softer, more tender potato, wrap each potato in aluminum foil before baking.
- Toppings can be added before or after baking, depending on personal preference.
- Using fresh, high-quality vegetables ensures the best flavor in the stuffing.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
