Loaded Potato Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Chop into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Boil or bake the potatoes until tender. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 45-60 minutes depending on size.

  3. 3

    Mix the Topping

    In a bowl, combine the chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Butter

    Melt the butter and mix it into the topping mixture.

  5. 5

    Assemble

    Once the potatoes are ready, cut them open and fluff with a fork. Generously spoon the loaded topping mixture over each potato.
