Ingredients
- 6 Russet Potatoes
- 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil, divided
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- Salt
- Pimento Cheese
- Bacon, cooked & chopped
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash your potatoes. Set them on paper towels and allow them to dry.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and rub the skins with 1.5 Tablespoons Canola Oil. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Place on a cooling rack.
- When cool enough to handle, slice the potatoes lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides (I use the long end of the teaspoon from this set, works great!). I only leave a very thin layer of potato, some people prefer to leave a little more. You do you!
- Melt the butter with the other 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil. Brush the insides of the potatoes with this mixture, then flip over and brush the skins. Sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for about 6 more minutes, until skin is crispy. Flip potatoes over, sprinkle with salt and bake another 5 minutes until edges of the potatoes begin to brown.
- Fill each potato skin with about 1 Tablespoon of pimento cheese. Top with bacon. Bake another 5-6 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
- Serve immediately, with sour cream, if desired.
