Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large baking potatoes (Idaho or russet)
12 slices thick-cut applewood smoked bacon
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups 2 percent low-fat milk, heated
5 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the potatoes on a roasting tray and bake for 45 minutes. When done, the tip of a paring knife should go through the potatoes easily.
  • Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  • Add the flour to the drippings in the pot and stir to combine. Cook, without adding color, until the flour and fat has combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk while you whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
  • Scoop out the potato pulp from the skins and add to the milk mixture. Mash with the back of a wooden spoon leaving it a little bit chunky.
  • Add the cooked bacon (leaving a little out for garnishing the soup), 1 cup of the cheese, and season well with salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with sour cream (from a squeeze bottle), sprinkle with remaining bacon bits, grated cheese and chives.

Loaded Baked Potato image

A fast and easy take on the classic stuffed twice-baked potato. Pairs well with a juicy, fruit-forward red wine blend.

Provided by 14 Hands Winery

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Twice Baked Potato Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 russet potatoes
12 strips bacon
1 pound broccoli florets
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
  • Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
  • Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 slices bacon
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons flour
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 1/2 lbs russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
salt and pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for garnish)
1 cup sour cream (plus more for garnish)
4 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in the bottom of a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot.
  • Once the bacon is done, remove and set a side (chopp for garnish once it cools).
  • Add the onion and garlic to the bacon fat left in the pot and sautee until the onions are translucent (medium-low heat so that the garlic does not burn).
  • Wisk the flour into the onions and garlic mixture while in the pot and cook for an additional few minutes to cook out the flour.
  • Slowly wisk in the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream.
  • Add in the potatoes. Bring it to a boil then reduce to a low heat and cook until the potatos are tender.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and blend everything together with a hand blender (or you can blend it in batches in a regular blender).
  • Turn off the heat (makes sure the heat is off or the sour cream will curdle) and add the cheddar cheese and sour cream and mix it all together.
  • Serve topped with the chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, sour cream and sliced scallions.

Tips:

  • For the perfect baked potato, choose potatoes that are similar in size so they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork to help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) to create a crispy skin.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before handling them.
  • Toppings can be added before or after baking, depending on your preference.
  • Be creative with your toppings! There are endless possibilities, so experiment and find what you like best.
