Stuffed Potato Skins

Fluffy, cheesy, buttery potatoes with crispy bacon – all baked in a crunchy potato skin. Quick to make, the perfect comfort food.

Ingredients

2 Baking potatoes
Back bacon, smoked or un-smoked
80g Extra Mature Yorkshire Cheddar – grated
Yorkshire Butter
Chives
Salt & pepper, to taste

Method

1. Start by baking your potatoes in the oven until crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. If you want to speed up the process, pierce the skin with a fork and heat the potatoes in the microwave first for 3-5 minutes.
2. Either fry your bacon, using Yorkshire Butter in a pan, or grill until crispy.
3. Slice the potatoes in half and scoop out the fluffy potato flesh into a bowl (careful not to burn your hands). Once your bacon is ready, slice into strips or dice into smaller chunks.
4. Add a few dollops of Yorkshire Butter, salt & pepper and mash together with the potato flesh, stir in crispy bacon bits and 1/2 of your grated cheese.
5. Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins and place on a baking tray. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then place back in the oven for another 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
6. Sprinkle over some fresh chives and enjoy!
