Ingredients
6 Large Potatoes (whole with skin still on)
0.5 cup Milk
1 tbsp Butter
1 Onion, diced
2 Garlic cloves
3 Bacon rashers, diced
6 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Wash & prick potatoes all over with a fork. Place on baking tray and cook for 90 minutes until soft in the center when tested with a knife or skewer.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly then slice in half. Scoop out center of potato with a spoon and keep this in a bowl to mash.
- Once all potatoes are just shells, place back in oven for 10 minutes to crisp.
- Mash potato with milk and butter until smooth.
- Heat frypan over high heat and add diced onion, garlic and bacon and sauteed until lightly browned.
- Stir bacon mix through mashed potato.
- Remove potato skins from oven, fill with mash potato mix.
- Top with grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- Stuffed Potato Skins are not suitable for freezing and best served when made.
- We added a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce when we taste tested at SAHM HQ and it was delicious!
