Breakfast Potato Skins Recipe

Total Time 1 hour
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large Russet Potatoes
  • 6 Slices of Bacon
  • 1/4 Cup of Milk
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 Green Onions thinly chopped
  • 4 Large Eggs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. You can either bowl your potatoes (this is what I did) or you can put poke holes with a fork then microwave them for about 16 minutes.
  • Cook Bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Finely Chop cooked bacon.
  • Slice off the tops of the Potatoes, scoop out the potatoes into a bowl. You want to create as deep of a bowl as you can leaving about a 1/4 thick wall on the potato.
  • Add the 2 Tablespoons of bacon drippings and warmed milk into the bowl of potatoes and mash. Mix in cheese, onions, and the chopped bacon.
  • Fill the hollowed out potatoes with the mix, press it in tightly with a spoon creating a long a deep well for the eggs.
  • Place potatoes onto a baking tray, crack eggs and carefully pour into the well in each potato.
  • Place potatoes into oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Once potatoes are done cooking season to your taste place a half slice of bacon on top and sprinkle a little green onion over it for contrast.

Notes

I LOVE a little hot sauce on this too, but that's just me and my love of hot sauce =)
