Stuffed Potatoes

These are the potatoes of my dreams - literally.

The potatoes are baked, flesh removed - mixed with bacon, cheese, sour cream and spring onions, put back into their skins, topped with MORE cheese and baked again.

Are you drooling yet?

They are seriously delicious and are the perfect side dish for almost any meal.

I hope you love them as much as I do, and if you do let me know below!

Meanwhile, cook the diced bacon in a hot pan until golden and crispy

Remove the potatoes from the oven and once you are able to handle them, cut them in half longways

Scoop out the potato leaving a thin layer to keep the skins intact
