Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 180c.
- Prick potatoes all over with a fork - you want to do this so they don't burst their skins in the oven.
- Using your hands, rub the potatoes all over with olive oil & place directly on oven rack.
- Bake for 1 hour or until cooked through (check by inserting a sharp knife into potato to test for doneness).
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 mins.
- Meanwhile in a small non-stick pan fry bacon over medium-high heat for 2-3 mins or until starting to brown, add shallots & garlic and turn off heat (the residual heat in the pan will slightly cook the shallots & garlic) and leave in pan to cool slightly.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half length ways.
- Using a melon baller or teaspoon, scoop out the middle of the potato (you want to scoop out as much potato as you can, but be careful not to pierce the skin).
- Mash potato until there are no lumps, add sour cream & bacon mixture, mix to combine.
- Place a wire rack over a baking tray, and place potato skins on rack, cut side up.
- Add shredded cheese to potato mixture and mix to combine.
- Evenly divide potato mixture between skins.
- Combine reserved cheese and breadcrumbs, sprinkle evenly on top on potatoes.
- Bake for 30 mins, or until tops are golden.
Notes
- I do my best to buy potatoes of an even size for this recipe, so they all cook through at the same time.
- I like to add the shredded cheese to the potato mixture last so the potato mixture has a chance to cool slightly - this means that when I mix in the cheese it doesn't melt straight away, and when you eat the potatoes you find little pockets of cheesy yumminess.
- 100g of bacon usually equates to 2 rashers (rind removed) or 4 shortcut.
- If your potatoes are too hot to handle and you don't want to wait, I hold them steady with a pair of kitchen tongs to slice them in half, or you could use a clean tea towel - just not too tightly or you will squash them - be careful when scooping them out, the centre of the potato will be VERY hot.
- The reason you put the stuffed potatoes on a wire rack over a baking tray to finish cooking is to try and keep the bases of the potatoes from sweating, but not dropping cheese etc all over the oven floor.
