Preparation Time 15 min
Cooking Time 75 min
Overall Time 90 min
Ingredients
Potatoes and Seasonings
3 large russet potatoes
1 tablespoon avocado oil
½ teaspoon salt (for roasting)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (for roasting)
Mashed Potato Filling
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup whole milk, hot
½ teaspoon salt (for mashed potatoes), more to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper (for mashed potatoes)
Toppings
6 slices beef bacon, each cut in half
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, then use a fork to poke holes all around each potato to allow for even roasting. Rub them with avocado oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let them cool slightly.
Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the inside, leaving a sturdy shell. In a bowl, mash the scooped potatoes with butter, hot milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Spoon most of the mashed potatoes back into the shells, pressing down in the center to create a well. Place two halved slices of beef bacon in each well, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and carefully crack an egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake at 350°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm and enjoy.
