Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large russet potatoes
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon butter (do not substitute margarine)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or regular table salt)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 -8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 -8 green onions, sliced
2 cups sour cream

Steps:

  • 1 Bake potatoes in the microwave for 10 minutes; turn over and bake another 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool. 2 Melt butter in skillet over medium heat. 3 Beat eggs in a bowl; add water; beat a little more. Add eggs to skillet and scramble until done. Set aside. 4 Once potatoes have cooled enough to be handled, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch layer of pulp in the skins; discard pulp (or save for something else). 5 Place skins upside down (skin side up) on a greased baking sheet. 6 Combine oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl; brush all over each skin. 7 Bake at 475 degrees for about 8 minutes; turn over and bake another 6 minutes. 8 Remove baked skins from oven. 9 Fill each skin with scrambled eggs and sprinkle top with cheese. 10 Return to oven long enough to melt the cheese, about 1 minute. 11 Remove from oven and add sour cream, bacon and green onions.
