Quick and easy microwave bacon potato topped with cheddar cheese and bacon bits. Great side dish and a sure man-pleaser. Ingredients:
4 potatoes |
vegetable oil |
salt |
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
bacon |
Directions:
1. Clean un-peeled potatoes under water to remove any dirt.
2. Poke them all over with a fork to vent while cooking.
3. Rub vegetable oil on potatoes and season with salt.
4. Microwave for 5 minutes, turn potatoes over, and microwave for an additional 5 minutes.
5. While potatoes are cooking, cut across bacon and then lengthwise to create small bits. ( I use frozen bacon) Cook in a skillet until crispy and set aside.
6. Allow the potatoes to cool until you can handle them.
7. Make a slice lengthwise on each potato and use a fork to mash the insides. ( Doesn't have to be perfect).
8. Top potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese and put back in the microwave for 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
9. Top with bacon bits.
