Ingredients
- 4 x 300g / 10oz potatoes ( - Sebago (Aus), Russet (US), Maris Piper / King Edwards (UK) (Note 1))
- 1 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 200 g / 7oz bacon (streaky) (, chopped into small batons (Note 2))
- 120 g / 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup cream ((pure or thickened / heavy))
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (, shredded (Note 3))
- 3 g reen onions (, finely sliced)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp chives (, finely chopped (garnish))
- Sour cream ((recommended!))
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan). Place a rack on a tray (recommended but not critical).
-
Prick potatoes: Wash, scrub and dry potatoes well. Prick each potato 8 times with a fork.
-
Oil and salt: Put potatoes in a bowl, pour over oil and rub onto potatoes. Then sprinkle over salt and use your hands to coat. (Just do this as best you can. Some will stick, much will not!)
-
Bake: Place potatoes on rack and bake for 75 minutes or until you can pierce with a small knife with no resistance.
-
Cook bacon: Place bacon in a cold non-stick pan over medium heat. When the fat starts to melt, turn the heat up to high and cook bacon until golden. Drain on paper towels.
-
Heat butter and cream: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add cream and heat until hot, but don't let it boil. (You could also do this in a microwave)
-
Lower oven: Turn oven down to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
-
Scoop out potato flesh: Allow potatoes to cool enough so you can handle them (or use a tea towel). Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh, leaving 0.7cm (1/3") thick layer of potato still stuck to skin.
-
Mash potato: Place potato flesh in a bowl and mash while hot until smooth.
-
Add-ins: Add half the cheese (save the rest for topping), most of the bacon (save a bit for garnish), all the green onion, hot cream and butter, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Stuff and top with cheese: Fill potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
-
Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbly.
-
Serve: Serve immediately, garnish with sour cream, reserved bacon and chives.
