Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 slices thick-cut bacon, coarsely chopped
4 10- to 12-ounce russet potatoes, scrubbed, each pierced several times with fork
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Sauté bacon in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and brown. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
  • Bake all potatoes in microwave on high until tender, about 10 minutes per side. Cut top 3/4 inch off each potato lengthwise. Scoop cooked potato flesh into medium bowl, leaving 1/4-inch-thick potato shell. Add butter and milk to potato flesh in bowl and mash well. Stir in bacon; season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon potato mixture into shells. Place potatoes on baking sheet.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake potatoes until filling is heated through and shells are crisp, about 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out well. They were dry and crumbly.

These potatoes were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes were undercooked. I had to put them back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

These twice-baked potatoes were a hit at my dinner party! The bacon added a delicious smoky flavor and the potatoes were perfectly creamy on the inside.
