Description

You won't be able to say no to these bloomin' baked potatoes. They are really awesome because they turn out salty, crispy, yet soft and delicious. You won't go back to plain baked potatoes again.

Ingredients

• 2 potatoes
• ½ cup olive oil
• coarse salt, like sea salt
• 4 T. Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 T. crispy bacon bits or crumbles

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Scrub potatoes and dry. Cut tops off of the potatoes. Using a small, thin, flexible knife, cut rings or circles around the inside of the potato. Turn the potatoes over; make deep cuts all the way around potatoes, leaving a small space at the top uncut.
3. Carefully turn potatoes back over. Check to see if cuts need to be made deeper. Brush potatoes with olive oil; sprinkle with salt.
