Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C)
- Wash the potato well and place on a baking sheet.
- Place into the oven and bake for 1 hour. Test for doneness by gently squeezing the potatoes.
- Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and allow to cool for 1 hour.
- Cut up the bacon slices and cook in a skillet until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon pieces from the skillet, draining of bacon fat, and place in a ramekin until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C)
- Cut the baked potatoes in half and remove the pulp leaving 1/4" boarder. I use a spoon for this and store the removed potato pulp for another use.
- Next, line a baking sheet with foil.
- Next, brush each potato skin, flesh and skin side with vegetable oil.
- Place flesh side down on the baking sheet. Bake the potato skins for 25 minutes.
- Remove the potato skins from the oven and turn over then season with salt and pepper.
- Fill the potato skins with grated cheddar and cooked bacon pieces then return to the oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the potato skins and top as desired, with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chives or other toppings of your choice.
