Cheesy Bacon Chive Loaded Potatoes

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a towel and poke holes in them with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender inside and the skin is crispy.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Loaded Potatoes

    When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to fluff the insides. Stuff each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top each loaded potato with a dollop of sour cream and additional chives if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
