Mini Loaded Mild Blue Cheese and Bacon-Stuffed Potato Skins

By: Philip Lemoine / @philip_lemoine

 

 

Ingredients

  • 10 small russet potatoes
  • 3 strips thick-cut bacon
  • ⅓ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup buttermilk or heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces Treasure Cave Mild Crumbled Blue Cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Minced chives or green onions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Use a potato brush to clean potatoes under running water.
  3. Poke holes in potatoes with a fork and then bake on a baking sheet for 40-60 minutes or until fork tender.
  4. While the potatoes cook, bake three strips of bacon in oven at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes or until crispy. Reserve bacon fat for later.
  5. Cut potatoes in half. Using a spoon, remove middle of potatoes carefully. Retain potato filling in a separate bowl. Make sure to keep a little potato near the skins to help them hold their structure.
  6. Mix potato filling with sour cream/Greek yogurt, buttermilk/heavy cream, butter and Treasure Cave Mild Crumbled Blue Cheese. Taste filling and add salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Use a spoon to add filling to potato skins. Brush bottom of skins with bacon grease and then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese melts and skins are crispy.
  9. Top with sour cream, minced bacon, chives and enjoy.
