Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
6 slices bacon, cut 1/2-inch thick
2 1/4 pounds russet potatoes (about 4), scrubbed clean and cut into 1-inch chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups shredded Cheddar
2/3 cup sour cream
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
  • Put the potatoes into the prepared casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the potatoes are soft and begin to brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup Cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Dollop over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the remaining cup Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are completely cooked through when poked with a knife, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and bacon pieces.

LOADED BAKED POTATO ROUNDS



Loaded Baked Potato Rounds image

I was trying to create an appetizer that could be served at my teenaged daughters birthday party that the kids would love but that would appear elegant enough for the adults to be interested as well. These are made with simple ingredients yet yield a sophisticated result. Feel free to get creative with the flavors. Try shredded white cheddar in place of mozzarella or thyme instead of the rosemary. Take it up another notch by topping the rounds with smoked fish. -Amanda Digges, South Windsor, Connecticut

LOADED BAKED POTATO



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.
