Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp 12. Paprika – 1/2 tsp 13. Garlic Powder – 1/2 tsp 14. Crispy Bacon – 6 slices, cooked and crumbled 15. Fresh Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped 16. Chives – 2 tbsp, finely chopped Recipe 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water, then dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel. 2. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub the skins with olive oil and sprinkle with half of the salt to help them develop crisp, flavorful skins. 3. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50–65 minutes, depending on their size, until a knife slides easily into the center. 4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5–10 minutes, just until they are comfortable enough to handle. 5. Slice each potato lengthwise and carefully scoop the soft flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a sturdy layer of potato attached to the skins so the shells retain their shape. 6. Add the softened butter, sour cream, cream cheese, and milk to the potato flesh. Mash until creamy, leaving a few small pieces for a rustic texture if desired. 7. Stir in the minced garlic, remaining salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly so the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the filling. 8. Fold in 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese, all the mozzarella cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped chives. 9. Spoon the creamy potato mixture back into the potato shells, dividing it evenly and piling the filling slightly above the edges. 10. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the filled potatoes, followed by the remaining bacon crumbles. 11. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese melts and the filling is heated through. 12. Switch the oven to broil for 1–3 minutes if needed, watching carefully until the cheese develops golden-brown spots. 13. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and the remaining chives, then serve hot as a hearty side dish or satisfying main course. Follow for more easy and delicious homemade comfort food recipes!
