Ingredients

4 potatoes (medium to large)
1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
salt (to taste)
150 g bacon (chopped)
150 g cream cheese
100 g mozzarella cheese (grated)
50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
green onions (chopped, to taste, for garnish)

Steps

1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them completely.
2
Brush the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt to taste.
3
Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
4
While the potatoes are baking, fry the chopped bacon in a skillet until very crispy. Drain the excess fat on paper towels and set aside.
5
Remove the potatoes from the oven, discard the aluminum foil, and make a lengthwise cut across the top of each one, opening them slightly without separating the halves.
6
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese with some of the mozzarella and fried bacon.
7
Generously fill the center of each potato with the cream cheese mixture.
8
Top with the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
9
Return the potatoes to the oven (or use the broiler) just until the cheese is melted and golden.
10
Top with the remaining crispy bacon and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For a quicker result, you can partially cook the potatoes in the microwave before placing them in the oven to brown. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
