Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes
4 large eggs
6 slices bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp chopped chives
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF. Place the russet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45โ60 minutes, or until they are tender.
Once the potatoes cool enough to handle, slice off the tops and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl.
Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper until well combined and creamy.
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove and crumble, then scramble the eggs in the same pan until just set.
Fold the bacon, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese into the potato mixture, blending everything together well.
Take the scooped-out potato shells and spoon the filling back into them generously.
Top each filled potato with additional cheese. Return to the oven and bake at 375ยฐF for another 10โ15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finally, garnish with chopped chives and extra bacon pieces if desired before serving.
