4 servings

  • 4 potatoes
  • 1 lb bacon, cut into 1.5-inch (4 cm) slices
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup fresh chives, chopped, extra for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) apart, stopping about ¼ inch (6 mm) from the bottom.
  • Microwave your potatoes for 5 minutes per potato.
  • Mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and minced parsley.
  • Brush on the potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Insert 6-8 slices of bacon into the middle section of slots in the sliced potato.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the oven and bake until the outsides are browned and crisp, about 30 minutes, basting with more butter if needed.
  • In a sauce pan, combine the milk, cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Heat and stir until well-combined and smooth.
  • Add in the chopped chives to the cream cheese sauce.
  • Stir and pour over the crispy potatoes. Add extra chives for garnish.
  • Enjoy!
