Kees Fully Loaded Baked Potato Recipes

LOADED BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

CHEESY TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes with a fork or paring knife a few times on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 60 to 80 minutes. Let cool slightly (but keep the oven on).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch rim to preserve the shape of the shells.
• In a large bowl, mash the potato insides until mostly smooth. Add the butter mixture, sour cream, chives and 1 cup cheese and mix together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the mixture evenly into the 8 potato shells. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with more chives. Serve warm.
