Bake Potatoes: Place the baking potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45-60 minutes. 🥔⏲️
-
Cook Bacon: While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Once done, pat dry with paper towels and crumble into small pieces. 🥓
-
Prepare Onion: In the same skillet used for bacon, drain almost all the fat, leaving just a little behind. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent. 🧅
-
Prepare Potatoes: Once the potatoes are done baking, cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the insides of the potatoes, leaving about a 1/4-inch shell to maintain structure.
-
Mash Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, mash the scooped-out potato flesh until smooth and creamy.
-
Mix Ingredients: To the mashed potatoes, add the Caesar dressing, crumbled bacon, cooked onion, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. 🥓🧀
-
Fill Potato Skins: Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells, distributing evenly among them.
-
Bake Again: Place the filled potato halves back onto the baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10-15 minutes.
-
Broil for Crispiness: For an extra touch of flavor and texture, switch the oven to broil and broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and lightly crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. 🔥
-
Serve: Once nicely browned, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of Twice Baked Caesar Potatoes with your favorite main dish or as a satisfying standalone meal. 🍽️🥔
