For the Potatoes
- 4 medium Russet Potatoes Select medium-sized for even cooking.
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil Can substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
- 1 teaspoon Salt Use kosher salt for best results.
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly ground pepper is preferred.
For the Filling
- 6 slices Bacon Cooked and crumbled bacon.
- 4 large Eggs Standard size.
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Swap for mozzarella or gouda.
- ¼ cup Green Onions Chopped, can substitute with chives or shallots.
- ½ cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative.
- 1 cup Spinach Optional; can replace with kale.
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used.
- 1 teaspoon Paprika For heat, use smoked paprika.
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the russet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them multiple times with a fork. Rub each potato with a little olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake them for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes bake, combine crumbled bacon, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl. Add spinach if using.
Once cooled, slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh. Mix the scooped potato flesh with the filling mixture.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato halves and place them on a baking sheet. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Top with additional shredded cheese or a sprinkle of green onions before serving.
