Notas
Cook the potatoes only until slightly tender, because they will still go into the oven and need to keep their shape. Remove the center carefully so the sides do not break. Cutting a small piece from the bottom helps the potatoes stay steady in the baking dish. Sliced bacon adds flavor and makes the presentation more attractive. Serve hot to enjoy the creamy filling and melted cheese.
