2 large IdahoŽ Russet potatoes (12-14 oz. ea., cut lengthwise) 1 Tbsp. butter 8 eggs, beaten 1 medium tomato, chopped 1/4 c. crumbled cooked bacon 1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1-2 scallions, sliced
What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub potato and pierce skin several times with a fork. 2. Place on a baking sheet and bake 55-65 min., or until tender. Let cool 5 min., then slice in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving 1/2-in. thick shell. 3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, scramble eggs until firm. 4. Evenly divide eggs into potato halves and sprinkle with tomatoes, bacon , cheese and scallions. Place on baking sheet and heat in oven 5 min., or until cheese is melted.
Notes: Save the scooped out potato and mash with a bit of butter, salt, and pepper. Then simply pan-fry it for a double bonus.
