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 the potatoes in half, lengthwise. Using a melon baller or a spoon, carve out the center of each potato, being careful not to make the walls too thin.
5

Put a bit of the bacon and parsley aside for garnish.
6

Mix together the potatoes insides, 1cup cheddar cheese, cream cheese, bacon, parsley, salt and pepper. Scoop the mixture back into the potatoes.
7

Place the potatoes back in the oven over and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, top the potatoes with the remaining cheddar cheese and bake for another 10 minutes.
8

Garnish with the bacon and parsley. Enjoy.
