Cheesy bacon baked potatoes
Prep and cooking time: 1hr
Complex carb portions, per serving: 2
Ingredients
Serves: 2
2 medium-sized russet potatoes
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
3 rashers bacon, diced
50g Gruyere or Cheddar cheese, grated
2-4 tbsp Creme fraiche (optional)
2 spring onions, sliced
1 small handful fresh chives, finely chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C fan.
Prick the potatoes all over with a fork or sharp knife and wrap with foil. Bake until soft, approximately 1hr.
10mins before the potatoes are finished cooking, heat the oil in a small nonstick frying pan, over medium heat. Fry the bacon until crispy.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the foil and carefully slice down the middle to open the potatoes.
Top evenly with bacon and cheese, and place back in the oven for 5mins, or until the cheese has melted.
Top with creme fraiche (if using), spring onion, and chives. Serve with Second Nature coleslaw for additional protein and vegetables.
Second Nature special tip
This recipe can easily be made vegetarian by simply skipping the bacon bits. Having a variety of different salad options to top the potatoes means this meal can be easily adapted for all the family!
