1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under running water and dry them thoroughly. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
2
Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Sauté the Fillings
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the diced Canadian bacon and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4
Mix the Filling
Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the smoked cheddar cheese and chopped scallions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Stuff the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are baked, carefully slice them open lengthwise, fluff the insides with a fork, and fill each potato with the bacon and cheese mixture.
6
Final Bake
Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your baked stuffed potatoes!
