Crispy Bacon & Cheese Hasselback Potatoes

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400º.
2. Place potato lengthwise on cutting board with wood skewer against each of the sides.
3. Cut 1/8th inch slices into potato, ¾ of the way through. Skewers will prevent you from cutting the whole way through potato.
4. Drizzle potatoes with olive oil, place butter in between every few slices.
5. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for approx. 1 hour.
6. After potatoes open up, stuff cheese and bacon between slices. Use 2 oz cheese and ¼ of cooked bacon for each potato.
7. Return potatoes to oven to cook for 5 more minutes, melting cheese.
8. Serve!
