Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- ½ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Prick them with a fork several times and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes bake, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cooled.
- Once baked, let the potatoes cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving about a ¼-inch rim.
- To the bowl, add sour cream, milk, butter, crumbled turkey bacon, half of the cheddar cheese, and chives. Mix until well combined.
- Generously fill each potato skin with the mixture and top with remaining cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with extra chives before serving.
