Easy Cheesy Twice Baked Potatoes
Ingredients
- 8 baking potatoes - washed
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T Sea salt - roughly ground
- 8 T salted butter
- 16 Slices bacon - fried extra crispy
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Italian cheese blend - plus more for topping
- 1/2 cup light cream or half and half
- Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for 1 hour, make sure they are cooked through.
- While the potatoes back fry bacon until crispy and drain on paper towel.
- Slice the butter into pats and place in a large bowl with sour cream.
- When potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the oven
- Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
- Using a potholder, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl with the butter and sour cream. Leave a little bit of potato inside the skin, this will help keep the shape and reduce the risk of tearing the skin.
- Lay potato skins on a baking sheet.
- Smash the hot potatoes into the butter, sour cream.
- Add cheese, cream or half and half, salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix together, until well combined
- Fill the potato skins with the filling, you'll have lots of filling add lots to each skin.
- Top each potato with 2 slices of crispy bacon.
- Top each potato with a little more grated cheese
- Place them in the oven until the potato is warmed through and the cheese is bubbly and browning - about 15 to 20 minutes.
