Categories     Meat Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large russet potatoes
6 slice bacon
1/4 c milk, warmed
1 c shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for topping
1 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Pierce he potatoes with a fork and place in microwave until tender, about 16 minutes. Set aside.
  • 2. Cook bacon until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the drippings. Roughly chop 4 slices and break the other 2 slices in half; set aside.
  • 3. When cool enough to handle, slice off the top 1/4 inch of the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop the flesh from 3 potatoes to a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4-in-thick shell. Repeat with the remaining potato but discard the flesh. Add 2 Tbsp. of the reserved bacon drippings and the warmed milk to the bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  • 4. Stir in the cheese, scallions, parsley, chopped bacon, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  • 5. Season the insides of the potato skins with salt and pepper. Divide the filling among the skins, then press the back of a spoon down the center of the filling to create a long, deep well. Brush the outside of the skins with the remaining bacon dripings and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • 6. One at a time, crack an egg into a cup, then carefully pour into each potato (it's OK if some of the white overflows). Transfer to a preheated 375ยบ oven and bake until the whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • 7. Season with salt and pepper and top with more scallions and the halved bacon strips. Enjoy!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes turned out a little bland. I think I'll add some extra salt and pepper next time.
