Step by Step Method
Step 1
Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Take the potato pulp out, leaving about 1/4” around the edges.
Step 3
Place 1/2 of the potato pulp in a bowl and mash it with the cream cheese and diced jalapeno peppers. (Store the other half of the potato pulp in a container and keep refrigerated for another use.)
Step 4
Stuff the potato shells evenly with the potato pulp mixture.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the stuffed potatoes and top with half a slice of the cooked bacon. (Press lightly into the pulp mixture)
Step 6
Bake in a preheated 425°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. The cook time will depend on the size of the potato.
Step 7
Serve with sour cream and salsa sauce for dipping, if using.
Step 8
Enjoy!
