Killer Potatoes
First, let’s take a moment to appreciate how visually appealing these potatoes can be. Here’s a sneak peek of what we’re aiming for:
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt. This will help the skins become nice and crispy.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they’re tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a little of the flesh, creating space for the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh, shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, bacon bits (if using), and salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly.
- Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once they’re done, take out the potatoes and let them sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
There you have it! Killer Potatoes, ready to impress your guests or indulge in a tasty treat all by yourself. Enjoy your cooking adventure!
