Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt (for roasting)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for roasting)
Filling:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whole milk, hot
- ½ teaspoon salt (for mashed potatoes), more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for mashed potatoes)
Additional Ingredients:
- 6 slices beef bacon, each cut in half
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, then use a fork to poke holes all around each potato to allow for even roasting. Rub them with avocado oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50–60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Let them cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling: Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the inside, leaving a sturdy shell. In a bowl, mash the scooped potatoes with butter, hot milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Assemble: Spoon most of the mashed potatoes back into the shells, pressing down in the center to create a well. Place two halved slices of beef bacon in each well, sprinkle with shredded cheddar, and carefully crack an egg on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake Again: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake at 350°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let them cool for a couple of minutes, then dig in and enjoy this perfect breakfast bite!
