- 4 large russet potatoes sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tbsp salted butter melted

Instructions
To Bake Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. Dry them with paper towel then pierce each potato with a fork.
- Brush potatoes evenly with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place potatoes onto baking tray. Bake for 1 hour, or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
- Allow the potatoes to cool down after removing them from the oven until they are easy to handle.
To Prepare Potato Skins
- Prepare the potatoes by halving them lengthwise. Then, gently remove the flesh with a small spoon, ensuring to leave a shell that is approximately ¼-inch thick.
- Brush the inside and outside of the potatoes with the melted butter.
- Fill each potato with a generous amount of cheese and bacon. Place the potatoes back in the oven and cook for an extra 3 minutes or until the cheese melts and becomes deliciously bubbly.
