This is a fun, yummy way to serve potatoes. They look harder than they are to make.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Use a sharp knife to cut slits into the tops of the potatoes. You want to cut nearly to the bottom, but not all the way through. Brush each potato with 1 tsp. of olive oil and sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp. Coarse salt. Wrap them in foil and bake until tender, about 50-60 minutes.
2

Once they're soft, take them out from the oven and unwrap them. Season the potatoes to taste with salt and pepper. Let them cool slightly, then place a piece of cheese into each slit and sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top. Place them back into the oven for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
