Oven-Fried Stuffed Potatoes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp paprika (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes until tender.
Once cooled slightly, cut potatoes in half and scoop out the flesh, leaving a small border.
In a bowl, mash the potato flesh with sour cream, cheese, bacon, salt, and pepper.
Stuff the potato skins with the mashed mixture, then place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika (if using) over the top.
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy on the edges.
Top with chopped green onions and serve.
Enjoy your delicious oven-fried stuffed potatoes!
