Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400-degrees. Prick potatoes with a fork and wrap in aluminum foil. Place on oven grates and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Cut about 1/4-inch off the top and bottom of each potato so they stand upright. With a small spoon, scoop out the centers of each potato, keeping sides and bottom about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Brush potatoes, inside and out, with melted butter, and wrap with bacon, if desired. Secure with a toothpick. Spoon warm pork into each potato. Top with roughly 1/4 cup pepper jack cheese.
  • Place filled potatoes on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove toothpicks from bacon and garnish with parsley. Serve with pickle spears and coleslaw.

Recipe Tips

To make your own pulled pork, place a 1 lb. pork loin in a 5-quart slow cooker with 1 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours until fork-tender. Using a fork, shred pork into bite-sized pieces. Stir in 1 cup barbecue sauce and enjoy!
