Sliced Baked Potato
Ingredients
- 4 large Baking Potatoes
- 8 oz Cheddar Cheese - I like to use the block of cheese and cut it into slices but shredded will work too.
- 3 sliced Green Onions optional
- 1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 5 slices Bacon
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and set a baking sheet to the side.
- Wash potatoes and pat dry.
- Make a series of vertical slices through the width of the potatoes, going about 3/4 way through the potatoes. Do not cut all the way through.
- Rub the potatoes down with olive oil and place on the baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and bake for 45 minutes.
- Fry the bacon until crispy. Drain it on paper towels and cut into small pieces or crumble it up.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and insert cheese slices and bacon into the slices you cur into the potato, being careful not to bust the potatoes.
- Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Garnish with green onion slices and sour cream if you like.
