Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes about 800g
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 30ml
  • Salt and pepper
  • 150 g crème fraîche 1/2 cup
  • 100 g grated cheddar 1 cup
  • 4 rashers smoked bacon about 120g
  • 2 spring onions sliced (about 30g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 220C/430F. Scrub potatoes, prick with a fork, rub with oil and salt.
  • Bake directly on the rack for 50-60 minutes until skin is crackly and interior yields to a skewer.
  • Cook bacon until crisp, drain on paper. Warm crème fraîche and season to taste.
  • Split potatoes, flake interior with a fork to create pockets. Spoon in crème fraîche, sprinkle cheese and bacon, return to oven to melt.
  • Finish with spring onions and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately for best texture.
