Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon salt (for roasting)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for roasting)
Mash Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup whole milk, hot
- ½ teaspoon salt (for mashed potatoes), more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (for mashed potatoes)
Fillings and Toppings
- 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean and poke holes all around with a fork to ensure even roasting. Rub each potato with avocado oil, salt, and black pepper. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 50–60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling: Slice each potato lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the inside, leaving a sturdy shell. In a bowl, mash the scooped potato with butter, hot milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble: Spoon most of the mashed potatoes back into the potato shells, pressing down in the center to create a well. Place two halved bacon slices into each well, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully crack an egg on top of each.
- Bake Again: Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven at 350°F (190°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the breakfast potatoes cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy this perfect mix of crispy shells, creamy filling, savory bacon, melted cheese, and baked eggs.
Notes
- Use a fork to poke the potatoes before baking to prevent them from bursting.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- You can substitute beef bacon with turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon for different dietary needs.
- For fully cooked yolks, bake the second time for a few extra minutes.
- Serve with hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor if desired.
