Servings 5
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup salted butter
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 4 strips bacon cooked and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Clean potatoes and use a fork to poke a few holes around the outside of each potato. Bake in the oven for one hour, until cooked through.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool enough to touch. Slice each potato in half and remove the cooked potato from the inside and place it in a large bowl.
- Add the heavy cream, butter, sour cream, salt, pepper, and parsley to the bowl. Stir or mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
- Add ¾ cup cheddar cheese and the chopped bacon. Reserve one tablespoon of chopped bacon for garnish, if desired. Stir until the cheese and bacon are mixed with the other ingredients.
- Spread the potato mixture in a casserole dish and top with remaining cheese and bacon.
- Return to the oven to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until cheese on top is melted.
