How to cook deliciously - Loaded Baked Potato
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Stage
Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
3. Stage
Meanwhile, dice up bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pan.
4. Stage
Return the saute pan with reserved bacon fat to the heat. Cook broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Stage
When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool enough to handle. Cut them in half and scoop out a portion of the insides with a spoon, leaving about a 1/4-inch border on the skins.
6. Stage
Mix scooped-out potato with 1/2 of the bacon, broccoli-red pepper mixture, sour cream, salt, pepper, and 1/2 of the Cheddar together in a bowl.
7. Stage
Divide the filling and add it back into the potato skins.
8. Stage
Return stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.
