Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
2

Thoroughly scrub the potatoes and poke a few holes in them to vent. Brush with oil and bake in the oven for 1 hour or until soft. Turn them over halfway.
3

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest until they are cool enough to handle.
4

Cut off the ends. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the center of each potato, being careful not to make the walls too thin.
5

Mix together the potatoes insides, 1cup cheese, cream, salt and pepper. Fill the potatoes with the mixture and wrap a slice of bacon around each one. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
6

Place the potatoes back in the oven over and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, top the potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for another 15 minutes.
