Ingredients
- Russet potatoes
- 4 large
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Bacon
- 6 strips, cooked and crumbled
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup, shredded (divided)
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Green onions
- 1/4 cup, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the russet potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly. Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 60 minutes, or until they're tender and the skins are crispy.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin to maintain structure.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato, crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, and chopped green onions. Season the mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the filling back into the potato skins and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
Tips
- For a twist, try adding diced bell peppers or sautéed mushrooms to the egg mixture.
- You can substitute the bacon for turkey bacon or sausage for a different flavor.
- Feel free to use different types of cheese, like pepper jack for some added spice!
