Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pierce them with a fork several times.

3. 3

   Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

4. 4

   While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

6. 6

   Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a small border of potato intact to support the skin.

7. 7

   In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped-out potato flesh, shredded mozzarella cheese, cooked onions, and half of the crumbled bacon. Mix well.

8. 8

   Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, dividing it evenly among the potato halves.

9. 9

   Place the stuffed potatoes back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10. 10

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped green onions on top.

    Serve hot and enjoy your Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Potatoes!
