Ingredients
  • 4 russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • Coarse sea salt
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
  • 4 slices of cooked bacon chopped
  • ΒΌ cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons sliced scallions
  • 2 tablespoons Minced cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375. Start by rubbing down the russet potatoes with the vegetable oil and coarse flaky sea salt. Next, bake them in the oven for an hour.
  2. Take them out of the oven and let them cool. Slice open and if the flesh is still hot, let them cool off. Learn from my mistake of burning your fingers and allow time to cool fully before starting to scrape them out.
  3. Take a spoon and scrape out the middle of each half, only leaving a thin layer of the potato remaining. Top the insides with sharp cheddar cheese and a spoonful of bacon. Place back in the oven on broil to let the cheese melt and everything brown a little, about 4 minutes.
  4. Once they come back out of the oven, top with sliced scallion & sour cream, or whatever else your heart desires!
