Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Barbecue pulled pork
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup Cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Once cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the centers of the potatoes, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh intact along the skins. Save the scooped-out potato for another use, like mashed potatoes.
Brush the inside and outside of each potato skin with a bit more olive oil. Place them flesh-side-up on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to crisp up.
Remove the potato skins from the oven and fill each one with barbecue pulled pork. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the filled potato skins to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle the tops with barbecue sauce and add a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy this game day favorite!
