Ingredients

  • 8 baking potatoes scrubbed and allowed to dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt
  • 2 cups cheese curds can use crumbled cheese
  • 5 strips bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
  • 3 avocados peeled and pitted
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Pierce each potato with a fork a few times on each side. Place the potatoes on a pan in the oven, and bake about 45 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the potatoes feel soft.
  • Remove from oven and move to a wire rack to cool about 20 minutes.
  • Change the oven temperature to broil.
  • Slice each Idaho potato in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch on all sides.
  • Brush the potato skins all over with the olive oil and sprinkle the skin side with salt.
  • Evenly space the potato halves on a baking sheet and broil about about 2 to 3 minutes or until the skins begin to crips a little. Do NOT over-broil. Keep watching so they don't burn!
  • Remove from oven and fill each skin with onion, cheese crumbles and bacon.
  • Return to broiler and broil about 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the broiler.
  • Sprinkle chives on top.

To Make Creamy Avocado Sauce:

  • In a blender or food processor, add the avocados, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Blend until smooth. Drizzle across the top of each skin. Reserve remaining to dip skins in.
  • Serve immediately.
