Jalapeno Popper Twice Baked Potatoes
20 min prep
1 hr 30 min cook
Ingredients
Serves 8
- 2 lb Russet Potatoes, approximately 4 medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, as needed for coating potatoes
- 1/4 cup(s) jalapeños, diced small, seeds and ribs removed if less spice is desired
- 1 cup(s) Whipped Cream Cheese
- 2 cup(s) Center Cut Bacon, cooked crispy, crumbled or diced
- 1 cup(s) green onions, diced, approximately 1 bunch
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 cup(s) Low Fat Cultured Buttermilk
- 4 oz Unsalted Butter, 1 stick, melted
- 2 cup(s) Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Using a fork, poke a few holes evenly around each potato and place into a shallow baking dish.
- Drizzle olive oil over potatoes followed by a pinch of salt. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until potatoes are tender when poked with a knife.
- Remove from oven, keep covered, and allow to cool until just warm.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Hollow out each half by gently scooping out potato flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border of potato in each shell. Arrange potato shells on a sheet pan.
- Transfer scooped out potato flesh into a bowl along with jalapeños, cream cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, buttermilk, butter, and cheese.
- Mix well to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Fill each potato shell evenly with mixture.
- Place in oven at 375ºF and bake for at least 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned. Allow to cool before serving.
