Cheesy Hasselback Russet Potato
Serves6
Ingredients
- 4 Farmer's Promise Russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tsp. coarse salt
- 8 slices Co-Jack cheese, each cut into 9 squares
- 2 slices cooked crumbled bacon
- 2 tsp. fresh minced chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450-degrees.
- Place a wooden spoon on each long side of a potato. Cut 1/8-inch slices without cutting all the way through the potato.
- Place on a baking sheet, brush with butter and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until tender. Carefully insert a cheese square in between each slice; sprinkle with bacon and chives. Bake an additional 5minutes or until cheese is melted.
Notes
Place 2 wooden spoons on each side of the potato to prevent from cutting it completely through.
The skin of a Russet potato has more nutrients than the inside of the potato. Potatoes are loaded with fiber and about half of the potato's fiber comes from the skin.
