Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 80 g cheddar cheese grated
  • 50 g bacon bits
  • 25 g spring onions chopped
  • Sour cream or creme fraiche for topping

DISCLAIMER

I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 190ºC non fan and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Bake the potatoes until just soft, I bake mine in the oven to get a nice crispy skin but you can use the microwave if you wish.
  • Allow them to cool enough to be able to handle them, then slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft potato, leaving a little round the edges to prevent them collapsing.
  • In a dry bowl mix the potato and cheese, season with pepper to your taste, careful if you add any salt as the cheese and the bacon are salty.
  • Fry the bacon bits until crispy and set aside.
  • If you’ve microwaved your potatoes you may want to deep-fry the potato skins until lightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Allow to drain on paper towels.
  • Now stuff each of the potato skins with cheese/potato mix and about 1 teaspoon of the bacon bits.
  • Now place on the greased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
  • Top each potato skin with a spoonful of the chopped spring onion and a dollop of sour cream or creme fraiche.
  • Serve with a nice fresh crisp salad.
