Best Basic Baked Potato With Bacon Sour Cream Chive Topping Recipes

BACON CHEDDAR BAKED POTATO RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for one hour. If making more potatoes, an additional 15 minutes per potato is needed.
• Once cooled, cut the potatoes vertically, scoop out the inside, and transfer to a bowl.
• In the bowl with the scooped out potato, add the cheese, scallions, ½ cup (110 g) of bacon, sour cream, butter, milk, and pepper, and mix well.
• Scoop the potato mixture back into the hollowed-out potatoes and top with cheddar cheese and remaining ¼ cup (55 G) of bacon bits.
• Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Serve warm with sour cream and chives.
• Enjoy!

LOADED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Poke potatoes with a fork, place on a baking sheet and cook for 1 hour.
• Remove from the baking sheet, and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Once your potatoes are cooled cut each lengthwise into three sections, creating three long slices. (So each potato should yield two skins, plus a middle section that you can either discard, use to make something else, or keep to make some extra potato skins without the "skin").
• Once you've cut all the potatoes, use a small spoon to scoop out about 70 percent of the potato to make a little boat. You still want to have a thick layer of potato near the skin, but you want it to be slightly hollowed-out in the middle to create a "boat".
• Turn your oven on to a high broil. Brush the potatoes with butter on the inside and outside and place them back onto the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Broil for 7-8 minutes until the insides get a bit crispy from the melted butter.
• Remove from the oven and add a generous amount of shredded cheese into each skin, topping with bacon pieces.
• Place back under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
• Remove from oven and top with sour cream and chives or green onion. Serve warm.
• Store leftover potato skins in the refrigerator. Rewarm them in the oven or microwave.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CHIVE SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Skewer the baking potatoes with metal skewers, so they cook through faster and place them directly on the middle oven baking rack for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Meantime add the sour cream to a bowl with the whole-grain mustard, salt, white pepper and chopped chives, leaving a teaspoon back to sprinkle on top. Stir all the ingredients together and scatter over the remaining chives. If you are not eating it straight away store it covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
• When the potatoes are ready with a crisp skin and soft inside, remove them from the oven, take them off the skewers and cut a cross in the top of each of them and slightly squeeze them so they open out and place them into bowl. Serve the potatoes with the chive sour cream on the side and have people help themselves.

BASIC BAKED POTATO WITH BACON, SOUR CREAM & CHIVE TOPPING

Steps:

• If baking in the oven preheat to 400°F.
• Scrub the potatoes well with a vegetable brush and water, then dry.
• Poke potatoes with a fork several times so they won't explode, and, if desired, dust with salt while still wet.
• Bake directly on oven rack until tender (for one hour) or wrap in tin foil and bake in campfire or on the grill (over high heat) for 45 minutes, turning once.
• In a small bowl, combine chives, bacon bits and sour cream; mix well.
• Let potatoes cool for several minutes, open, spread with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with sour cream topping.

PERFECT BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Scrub the potato, and pierce the skin several times with a knife or fork. Rub the skin with olive oil, then with salt.
• Place the potato in the preheated oven, and bake for 90 minutes, or until slightly soft and golden brown. Slice the potato down the center, and serve with butter and black pepper. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top, if desired.

BACON, CHEDDAR, SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE, TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wrap potatoes in foil and bake in a 400* oven for 45-60 minutes. When potatoes are done, unwrap and let them cool.
• When potatoes have completely cooled, slice them in half, and with a small spoon; gently remove the center and you should have a potato boat.
• Place scooped out potatoes in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, mixing well.
• Reserve a handful of shredded cheese for the topping.
• Using a spoon fill the boats with the mashed mixture and top with the reserved cheese.
• Bake on 375* for 10-15 minute then on broil, watching closely so they do not burn until the cheese is slightly browned.
• Top Potato Boats with sour cream and more chives (optional of course), and Enjoy!
