Twice Nuked Potatoes

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 large idaho potatoes
  • 1 bunch green onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • salt
  • pepper

Recipe

  • 1 wash and pierce potatoes.
  • 2 cook in microwave until a knife will go all the way through potato easily (times will depend on size of potatoes and microwave wattage, but about 10 minutes or so is the average for me).
  • 3 cut top off each potato lengthwise.
  • 4 scoop out most of potato flesh trying not to go all the way through skin.
  • 5 in large mixing bowl add potato, green onions, cheddar cheese (reserve some for top), egg, bacon, sour cream, and salt & pepper (remember to add plenty of salt).
  • 6 smoosh everything together with a potato masher.
  • 7 add mixture back to skins, mounding it up.
  • 8 sprinkle with reserved cheese.
  • 9 nuke again until cheese is melted (about 3 minutes).
  • 10 note: i do all of this while the potatoes are still hot so that the egg gets a little pre-cooking from the heat of the potatoes and that, combined with the 3 minutes in the microwave, will cook the egg just fine. remember that microwaves cook from the inside out so the egg will be cooked before the cheese melts.
  • 11 enjoy!
