While those are baking, dice up a bit ofbaconand cook it until crisp.

Flip them, and cook them for an additional five minutes.

Then youre ready to halve, scoop, and stuff them before baking them for real.

Choose your favorite style, and feel free to try turkey or even plant-based bacon.

Get the right potato:Youll need large Russets for this dish.

Honestly, I liked having a bit of crispy egg white.

Just see to it you line your baking sheet with parchment so that removing the potato halves is easy.
