1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Clean the Potatoes
Scrub the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
3
Pierce the Potatoes
Use a fork to poke several holes in each potato. This will allow steam to escape while baking.
4
Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

5
Choose Your Stuffing
Select two stuffing options from the provided list: Alouette, Cheddar, Bacon, Sour Cream, Chives, Broccoli, Cheddar Cheese Sauce, or Chili.
6
Prepare the Chosen Fillings
If you selected bacon, cook and chop it. For broccoli, steam and chop it. Ensure all your chosen ingredients are ready to use.

7
Cut Open the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are baked and cool enough to handle, carefully slice each potato down the center, creating a pocket for the filling.
8
Fluff the Potato Flesh
Use a fork to gently fluff the insides of the potatoes for better texture.
9
Add Stuffing
Spoon your chosen fillings into the potato pockets. Mix and match as desired!
10
Top with Additional Ingredients
If desired, you can add extra cheese, chives, or sour cream on top of the fillings.
