Ingredients
- 4 large Russet Potatoes rinsed and scrubbed
- 3-4 green onions thinly sliced (plus more for garnish, if desired)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 1 large tomato diced
- ⅓ cup blue cheese crumbled
- 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Using a fork or sharp knife, pierce each potato about 10-12 times at regular intervals.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour, or until done.
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
- Using a large spoon, carefully scrape out most of the potato into a large bowl. (Leave a little bit of potato near the skin just to provide structure and keep the skin from ripping.) Set skins aside.
- In the bowl with the potatoes, add the green onions, butter, salt, pepper, and buttermilk. Mix well.
- Scoop the potato mixture back into each potato skin. Top with diced tomato, crumbled blue cheese, and crumbled bacon.
- Bake stuffed potatoes at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve warm or freeze.
