Twice Baked Potatoes with Pepper Jack Lace

 Twice Baked Potatoes with Pepper Jack Lace

4 Servings | 10-minute Prep Time | 1-hour Cook Time

Ingredients

4 Large Russet Potatoes
1 cup Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded
½ cup White Cheddar Cheese, shredded
8 Tbsp Butter, cubed
½ cup Sour Cream
4 Slices of Cooked Bacon, crumbled
4 Green Onions, thinly sliced
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F.  Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Wash potatoes, then poke them with a fork all over to allow steam escape while cooking.

Lightly coat each potato in olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.  Place them on the baking sheet.

Bake potatoes for 30 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are soft to the touch.

Remove potatoes from the oven. Drop oven temperature to 400°F.

Cut each potato in half, then use a spoon to scoop out most of the inside of the potato into a medium sized bowl. Try to leave a little bit of the insides of the potato around the edge of the skin to provide some structure and stability. Set skins aside.

Add the white cheddar cheese, butter, sour cream, bacon, and half of the green onions to the bowl of potatoes and mix to combine.

Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skin shells and place them back on the baking sheet.

Top potatoes with some of the shredded pepper jack cheese and place back in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and the potatoes are reheated through.

Prepare a second baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon shredded pepper jack cheese into circles on the parchment paper.  Place in oven and bake until golden and crispy cheese lace is formed, about 5-7 minutes depending on the size of your spoonfuls.

Remove everything from the oven.  Cut each cheese lace round in half and top each potato with one.  Sprinkle the remaining green onions on top and serve immediately.
