1
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
2
Cool and Slice the Potatoes
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a little around the edges to maintain the structure.

3
Choose Your Stuffing
Choose any two of the following options to stuff your potatoes: Alouette cheese, Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, chopped chives, steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese sauce, or chili.
4
Mix the Stuffing
In a bowl, mix together your chosen stuffing ingredients. For example, if you choose Cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, combine these in a bowl. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.

5
Fill the Potatoes
Spoon the stuffing mixture back into the potato halves. Press down gently to ensure the filling is packed in.

6
Bake Again
Place the stuffed potatoes back on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.

7
Serve Warm
Remove the stuffed spuds from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional chives or sour cream if desired.
