loaded baked potatoes

These loaded baked potatoes are the ultimate comfort food! Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and topped with all your favorite fixings, they’re a satisfying and customizable meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes.
  2. Rub potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Bake directly on the oven rack for 60-75 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut a slit lengthwise in each potato and fluff the inside with a fork.
  5. Top with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, and butter.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a dollop of guacamole or a sprinkle of hot sauce to your loaded baked potatoes.
