6 whole Small To Medium Sized Russet Potatoes, Rinsed Clean
1/2 sticks Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoons Salt To Taste
1/2 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste
8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1/2 pounds Ground Chuck, Browned
8 slices Smoked, Thick Cut Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
1/2 cups Caramelized Onions
12 whole Egg, Cooked Over Easy (1 Per Potato Skin)
2 Tablespoons Crushed Pretzels

1
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 F. Poke the top of each potato with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
2
Cook in the oven for 1 hour.
3
Once cooked, remove potatoes from the baking sheet, and place on a plate to let them cool for about 15 minutes.
4
Once your potatoes are cooled, use a sharp bread knife and cut them in half lengthwise.
5
So each potato will yield two skins, right?
6
You should then have 12 skins.
7
With a small spoon, being careful, scoop out about 70 percent of the potato from each skin, as you still want some potato in your boat.
8
Next, put your butter and olive oil in a microwave safe bowl and melt them together in the microwave.
9
This will probably take about 30 to 60 seconds.
10
Get your broiler heated to high.
11
Brush the butter and oil mixture on the inside and outside of each potato skin and place them back onto the baking sheet.
12
Season the inside of each skin with salt and pepper.
13
Place them under the broiler (cut side up) for 8-10 minutes until the insides get a bit crispy from the melted butter.
14
Remove the tray from the oven and place generous amounts of cheddar cheese and ground beef into each skin.
15
Then top each with a few bacon pieces.
16
Place these back under the broiler for about 3-4 minutes until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
17
Carefully remove the tray from the oven, and get ready.
18
Next, add the caramelized onions and top with the cooked egg.
19
Sprinkle a bit of crushed pretzels on top of the egg.
20
Take a look.
21
Sit back and enjoy this thing of beauty.
22
One bite says it all.
23
This potato skin might just be the cure for those groggy mornings after a night out on the town.
24
Give them a shot and let me know what you think.
