BREAKFAST BAKED POTATO



Breakfast Baked Potato image

I came up with this idea one morning when my son wanted hash browns, but I didn't want to do all the chopping and such. So, I just baked a potato and stuffed all the other breakfast items inside. He loved it and is now making it on his own! And there are many options with this dish.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large russet potato
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pinch salt
⅛ pound sausage, or as desired
2 slices bacon
4 tablespoons butter, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Rub potato with vegetable oil and salt. Prick several times with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until squeezable yet firm, about 50 minutes.
  • While potato is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Set sausage aside in a bowl.
  • Place bacon in the large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Let cool slightly; crumble.
  • Remove potato from the oven. Slice in the center to create a pocket; add 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper to the potato. Stuff potato with crumbled sausage and bacon.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet and scramble to desired doneness, about 5 minutes.
  • Place scrambled eggs on top of meat in potato. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top of warm eggs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Select medium-sized, firm potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid potatoes with blemishes or sprouts.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Pierce the potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Microwave or bake the potatoes: You can cook the potatoes in the microwave or in the oven. If microwaving, cook the potatoes on high for 5-7 minutes per potato. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly: Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before handling them.
  • Stuff the potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) border. Mash the flesh with butter, milk, and seasonings, then spoon it back into the potato skins.
  • Top the potatoes: Top the stuffed potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, bacon, chili, or sour cream.
  • Bake the potatoes again: Place the stuffed potatoes in a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the toppings are melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Breakfast baked potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of this classic dish. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give breakfast baked potatoes a try.
