Loaded Baked Potatoes

An old classic! This baked potato has crisp, golden skin, and is light and fluffy on the inside. Our mid-week recipe staring Aussie Made and Grown ingredients is great for any occasion.

Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes

2 large carrots, shredded

8 slices bacon

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons Ballantyne butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

8 spring onions, sliced, divided

1 bunch of fresh coriander

Method

Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.
Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese, 1 of the carrots and 1/2 the spring onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, carrot, green onions and bacon.
Bake for another 15 minutes

Tip

Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
